Antique 15k Moonstone Crescent Brooch / Pendant

Old moonstones are prized for their moody adularescence. For me, there is no gemstone quite like them, and none can top their mystical, ever-changing light.

Here, 13 antique moonstones, well matched and graduating in size, glow from a beautiful 15k gold crown setting. I have seen many moonstones set in silver, which is usually my favorite look, but this crown setting presents the stones like a diamond tiara in old gold.
