This enchanting antique Victorian moonstone drop pendant is adorned with two luminous cabochon moonstones, securely claw-set in rich 18ct gold coronet settings, with a delicate old mine-cut diamond sparkling at the centre (approx. 0.20ct).

Together, they evoke the romantic “Moon and Stars” symbolism so beloved in the Victorian era - a poetic emblem of feminine intuition, guidance, and new beginnings, representing a steadfast heart led by a dreaming soul.
Perfect for a glamorous evening occasion, this magical antique moonstone pendant has remained in excellent condition and comes complete with a fine 9ct gold chain to display it on, so it can be worn and adored well into the next century.
