These dangling earrings are handcrafted in 24K gold with baguette diamonds burnish set on top of each. Oval rainbow moonstones are bezel beneath, with larger pear shaped cabochon labradorites at the bottom. The shepherd’s hooks are 22K yellow gold for added strength and durability.
Made in Turkey.
What is Moonstone?
Moonstone is a variety of the feldspar-group mineral orthoclase. It’s composed of two feldspar minerals, orthoclase and albite. At first, the two minerals are intermingled. Then, as the newly formed mineral cools, the intergrown orthoclase and albite separate into stacked, alternating layers.
When light falls between these thin, flat layers, it scatters in many directions, producing the phenomenon called adularescence. Adularescence is the light that appears to billow across a gemstone, giving its surface a glowing appearance.
What is Labradorite?
Lore of the Inuit peoples claim Labradorite fell from the frozen fire of the Aurora Borealis, an ordinary stone that transforms to the extraordinary. Labradorite has become a popular gemstone because of the unique iridescent play-of-color that it exhibits.
