A fabulous pair of drop earrings adorned with two luminous cabochon moonstone fruits with leaves above set with four pink rubies. The moonstones weigh approx. 3.5ct each and exhibit a ghostly inner glow that intensifies with the light.
The mystifying moonstone derives its name from the stone’s ethereal, luminescent light that was once believed to be moonlight in solid form. In Greek mythology they were associated with Selene, the feminine moon Goddess and said to be a path to love, wisdom and new beginnings.
