This is a great piece of Victorian Moonstone Jewelry ...the Dragonfly necklace is 19 inche in length and the Moonstone is 24mm x 9mm x 9mm high. This was such a fun find and think the only thing that has been replaced at one time is the clasp. I think at one time Dragonfly chain was a lorgnette or a watch chain...not sure. Let me know what you think.....its 12k Rose Gold.

Please post some ugly jewelry so I can feel better about my own stuff : ))
AmberRose, Thank you...I am feel like I have nothing compared to Agram.m and others that post there treasures...I am small fry :0
I am a hoarder of Antique Jewelry...I will start my own Antique Jewelry Hoarders Anonymous AJHA group ...LOL
It is all beautiful! This moonstone and Dragonfly necklace is wow. Your jewelry is really really beautiful! Take a look at my posting of Mt. Fuji Yellow and white gold ring made by a male RN that worked with me, and I posted a cross and matching bracelet, I think it is from late 30's or early 40's? There is a big stone in a 10K ring, I do not know what it is. It is with the cross, please. If you like horseshoes, I have a sterling charm of a horseshoe, I will send to you. It was in one of the 165 gram pile of sterling! bye Mary take care email me so I can send horseshoe! Don
Wow! I want to be a member of the AJHA too. I agree w/AmberRose - don't you have any tacky items? I have tons!
I have don't have tacky items ...I have items that others choose to let go of. Remember what is one Man's trash is another Man's treasure :0
valentino97, thank you for saying that! I have more to show...it's my passion. I buy and end up keeping the good stuff :0 But I do sell ones that I do not wear.....
Gorgeous!
miKKoChristmas11...thank you for saying that...I feel very blessed to be able to even wear it!
Love it!!!!
bratjdd, Thank you for all your loving!!!! You made my day :)
musikchoo, thank you for your loving :)))
thats just not fair moonstonelover! can I ask you something...do you buy much from that "that auction site"? If so, do you have much success? I mean obviously you do but.....like.....yeah
wow, I just scrolled through your entire collection, its like tripping, falling, and landing in heaven....GREAT job!!!
BHock45, thank you somuch for the compliment!!!! I am so flattered :) What you see is an accumulation of many years of Antique Jewelry Addiction! I have sold many pieces from my collection. The ones I do not wear..or think that my daughters will fight over. I still have more to show...all are hand picked and about 1/2 are not from eBay and the other half are my Dealer's that I buy from ...from around the World. Half from Europe and the other in the US. The US is melting down history with Gold prices. The smart Europeans are holding onto history. Antique Jewelry is harder to come by...because of greed. As far as eBay is concerned....auction is OK but most of the time you are not sure of what you are buying since most Sellers are not educated with jewelry. I have bought a lot from eBay and its a gamble. I have tons of pieces that turned out to be costume jewelry....in boxes. I feel bad about asking for a return because its all a gamble. I invest in Antique Jewelry...I do not own a house ...so I buy :0 Hence my addiction and love :)) xoxoxoxo
i see i see. I did assume that you purchased from renowned deals all over the world. But I thought I would ask since I have been looking on there, ebay. OK, thanks for the lesson :)
BHock45, thank you for asking :)))
