This is an antique Ceylon Blue Moonstone and Amethyst Silver Arts and Crafts pendant.
The upper gemstone sits in a closed back setting that resembles a flower whilst the amethyst sits in a layered tear drop setting. Not marked but tested for Sterling Silver, this piece is articulated at the centre.
It measures 4.3 cm high including the bale and 1.8 cm wide.
From moonmagic, 'It is said in a South East Asian myth that the most beautiful blue moonstones are brought by tides once every 21 years.....Another ancient myth describes moonstone as a talismanic gem of winter and a gem to be worn on Mondays.
In India there was a belief that since the beginning of time, a moonstone had been set into the forehead of India’s moon god, Chandra Shekara, which means “Person who wears the moon.” The stone on Chandra’s forehead was said to grow dimmer or become more bright with the waning and waxing of the moon (and the waxing and waning of Chandra’s power), thus giving the gem the name “moon stone.”
