"Malta" Drops for Hoop Earrings (Moonstone, 18k Gold, Oxidized Sterling Silver)

Add a touch of Byzantine style to your earring collection with our mixed-metal "Malta" drops featuring 3.3 carats of checkerboard-cut rainbow moonstone, glimmering in tones of peach and blue. These gorgeous cushion-cut iridescent gems are set into 22k gold scalloped bezels, framed by etched oxidized sterling silver, and accented with 18k gold florets on the cardinal points. Pair them with any of our mixed-metal hoops, or add them to your own favorites. (Although these moonstones appear to be different colors in the photo, it's because of the way the light refracts from the adularescence of the stone--they both stones actually display the same shifting rainbow "play of color" when in motion.) The "Malta" drops are also available in emerald, tanzanite, blue Australian opal, pink tourmaline, white topaz, red spinel, and sphene (a rare, golden gem with diamond-like sparkle). Overall size: 1 1/8” x 7/8”.
