A rainbow moonstone cabochon is nestled within a sterling silver Celtic triquetra knot in each of these pretty hook earrings.
The curving lines of the cut-out knot form a natural cradle for the gemstone and seem to radiate outward from its orb-like shape. The moonstone is bezel-set which allows light to illuminate it from both the front and behind, and with its translucent pastel colors, is perfectly complemented by the sterling silver.
The combination of materials, shapes and colors altogether create an earring that is delicate with an ethereal touch.
A cabochon is an old-fashioned way of shaping and polishing a stone, usually round, before faceting (cutting) became common practice.
