Stunning, Art Deco, 1930s, 9ct Gold, Double Layer Moonstone Fringe Necklace

This wonderful Art Deco, Vintage Moonstone Necklace features 16 moonstone cabachons arranged in to two very pretty layers in their own bezel settings. With a collective weight of approximately 20ct, (the largest stone being 2.5ct, and the smallest being 0.40ct) these moonstones shimmer a magnificent blue glow on their 18 inch fringe necklace.

The necklace is not marked, but it has been tested for 9ct Gold and its design points to the Art Deco era, dated to the 1920's - 1930s. It weighs 5.2g and is offered in tremendous condition. I have seen quite a few of these necklaces in silver, but never in 9ct gold, so this is a really exciting piece.

When Moonstones were first discovered in Ancient Rome, it was believed that they were formed from solidified beams of moonlight. It was also thought that Diana, the goddess of the moon, could be seen within the stone, and that it would bestow love, wisdom and good fortune upon the wearer. Other cultures have associated the moonstone with good luck powers, and a symbol of love and passion.
