This is a Victorian feldspar or unpolished moonstone drop bead necklace with gold findings. Stumbled across this on Ebay. I have never seen one
in this stone. Mostly brooches and the Niagara barrel charms. It is circa
mid 1800's to late 1800's - early 1900's. Don't know where these were made.
I was thinking I had seem similar recently, but it was your lovely earrings.
This is gorgeous too.
Fantastic find!
I've never seen feldspar necklaces, thanks for sharing it Wpj :-)
Feldspar seems to be called too satin spar, some is mined in Niagara area!
This explains the many barrel shaped charms encountered :-)
