Antique Arts and Crafts Sugarloaf Moonstone Cabochon Earrings

Fabulous large pointed cabochon moonstones mounted in silver with gold earring fittings. The rare sugarloaf moonstones and their silver settings were originally antique Arts and Crafts (c. 1880-1910) hatpins which we have had converted to earrings with the addition of solid gold wires. The stones are a soft milky blue-grey with a beautiful shimmering adularescence.

SIZE: Approx 1.7cm total drop from the top of the ear wire, the moonstones are 1.4cm diameter and around 8mm deep.

WEIGHT: 5.9g.

MATERIALS: Nine-carat (375) gold, 925 sterling silver, moonstone.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: The mounts are stamped STERLING SILVER.

CONDITION: In excellent antique condition. There is an inclusion at the bottom of one of the moonstones which looks like a dark line across (see photos); it's inside the gem and the surface is smooth and unblemished.

ERA: Victorian (c.1837-1901) with later gold wires.
