Overview
This handcrafted sterling silver bracelet features five bezel-set natural rainbow moonstone (white labradorite) cabochons showcasing vivid blue adularescence. The layout balances one central round stone flanked by four teardrop-shaped links, joined by double soldered jump rings and secured with a classic toggle-and-ring clasp.
Story
Centuries ago, Roman travelers believed moonstones were captured drops of moonlight solidified into gems. This piece channels that celestial lore with luminous flashes of blue fire.
Maker / Origin
Unmarked artisan jewelry of this type flourished in the late 20th century, emerging largely from skilled silver-smithing hubs in Rajasthan, India, and Bali, as well as Western studio jewelers. These makers blended traditional bezel-setting methods with bohemian aesthetics designed to showcase phenomenal natural gemstones.
Condition & Value
Appears in very good vintage condition with intact bezels, natural internal gemstone inclusions characteristic of moonstone, and a light silver patina. The strong blue flash across multiple stones preserves full collector appeal.
