Moonstone is one of three June birthstones (the other two June birthstone pics, Pearl and Alexandrite already got their own posts). Moonstone was a favorite of the Art Nouveau and ’20s eras. From GIA: According to Hindu mythology, moonstone is …
Finding true vintage art deco pieces is always a treat, but finding well-designed 1920’s style jewelry is also nice (and much, much budget-friendlier).
