This is a lovely pair of Moonstone earrings. The Moonstone is oval in shape and the earrings measure approximately 1 inch in length including the wire. The Moonstone is characterized by an enchanting play of light. It owes its name to that mysterious shimmer which always looks different when the stone is moved and is known in the trade as "adularesence".  In early times, people believed that they could see the crescent and waning phases of the moon. Each Moonstone is a unique stone. Photographed with no editing or touch ups, these images capture the true coloring of the jewelry  so you will receive the exact item pictured. We recommend that you use a sterling polishing cloth to keep your sterling silver clean. The polishing cloth is safe for use with all our wonderful stones. As with all of our beautiful jewelry, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed.
