Antique Art & Crafts Silver Moonstone Oval Brooch Pin metal This exquisite Victorian ringTheres a kind of quiet magic in moonstone, the way it seems to hold light in suspension, glowing with blue fire from within. This enchanting brooch gathers that magic and multiplies it by seven: a large oval cabochon at the center, encircled by six smaller moonstones, all haloed in swirling silver leaves and vines. The openwork design evokes a midsummer nights breeze, and the cool, watery shimmer of the stones feels like it belongs to dusk and dreams.
