Early Victorian Moonstone Pendant • Pink Spinel Halo, 18K

A beautiful early Victorian pendant centred around a large domed moonstone with an lovely blue-white schiller. The moonstone is framed by a halo of pink spinels, each held in its own delicate setting, all in buttery 18K gold.

There is something wonderfully celestial about the combination. Moonstone has long been associated with intuition, femininity and the changing phases of the moon, while pink spinel brings warmth, affection and vitality. The crisp open-backed settings allow the light to reach the stones beautifully, and the condition is truly exceptional for its age.
