A luminous example of Edwardian-era elegance, this antique necklace is composed of glowing moonstones set in finely crafted silver. Each oval cabochon is bezel-set in a delicate hand-linked framework, allowing the soft, ethereal sheen of the moonstones—known as adularescence—to take center stage. The stones shimmer with an inner light, shifting beautifully with movement.

Graduated in size, the necklace features a graceful drop at the center, creating a subtle focal point and flattering line along the neckline. The silver setting, likely sterling (unstamped or worn with age), has aged to a mellow patina that beautifully complements the cool tone of the moonstones.

A timeless expression of Edwardian femininity and refinement, this piece is as wearable today as it was over a century ago—perfect for a bridal look, moonstone lover, or collector of fine antique jewellery.

Condition: Very good antique condition. Minor surface wear to stones consistent with age. Secure clasp. Moonstones are mostly clear with minor natural inclusions. 

Dimensions: Approx. 40 cm (necklace length), largest central drop approx. 2.7 cm long

Moonstone sizes: range from 1.2 x 0.8 (largest) to 0.6 x 0.5 cm (smallest)
