Catching the Moon

Moonstone, with its thousand shades of white and its dreamy glare, is – like labradorite – a member of the feldspar group and has great cultural and historical value. The Romans believed moonstone to be created by the light rays from the moon itself. It has been used in arts and crafts for thousands of years and has been associated with lunar deities. In modern culture it has become the birthstone for the month of June.

In these earrings big, champagne-white, round moonstone beads are paired green-grey labradorite.

The beads are fashioned to earrings with silver-plated wire work and close with a silver-plated leverback clasp.

Dimensions

The total length of the earrings is 3.5cm, the dangle part is 1.5cm. The champagne-white moonstone beads have a diameter of 1.2cm, the smaller labradorite beads have a diameter of 0.4cm.
