A Necklace of Moonlight: Vintage Bohemian Sterling Silver & Blue Moonstone Gemstone Necklace.

Evoke the mystical beauty of twilight with this utterly captivating vintage bohemian necklace — a sterling silver treasure that seems as though it were plucked straight from the jewelry box of a moon priestess.

Expertly crafted, the necklace features a symmetrical festoon design, elegantly graduated across the neckline, and anchored by a series of luminous natural blue moonstones — each one a tiny portal to the ethereal. These are not just any moonstones, but high-quality faceted round-cut and pear-cut blue moonstones, their silvery translucence dancing with flashes of electric blue, pale violet, and soft aqua depending on how the light hits them — a phenomenon known as adularescence. This ghostly glow has long made moonstone a sacred talisman across cultures, from ancient Rome to India, where it was believed to be born of moonbeams and offer protection to travelers and lovers alike.

Each central cluster begins with a generously sized bezel-set round-cut moonstone, elevated within its sterling silver frame like a full moon cresting the horizon. These focal stones are flanked by smaller round moonstones, linked delicately in a vertical line that adds dimension and rhythm to the piece.

Suspended from these clusters are articulated, faceted pear-shaped moonstone drops, designed to swing and catch the light with every subtle movement, adding a lyrical quality to the necklace — like glistening dew falling from leaves under the pale light of dawn.

The structure of the necklace is both romantic and grounded in craftsmanship. The moonstones are set in handcrafted oxidized sterling silver, which not only frames the glow of the moonstones beautifully but adds an old-world charm and contrast, reminiscent of Victorian or Edwardian-era celestial jewelry.
