Serenity III (Moonstone) $ 32



The cut of Moonstone (in white) is quite unusual, something like chopping a pair into two halves :)

Dangling with these Moonstones are Peridot, white pearl, Carnelian and blue Apatite, which is not a common stone too. The outcome of this combination is very refreshing.

Parts in 14K gold-filled.

Just a note to all, 14K gold filled materials are BETTER than 14K gold-plated. It has 100 times more gold and therefore is often considered as good as gold. It will definitely help in understanding gold-filled material by doing a quite search over the internet.

As 14K gold-plated materials are very cheap, many accessories makers use them to lower the cost of their creations. Over here, I am very unwilling to compromise on the quality of my works and I will insist on using gold-filled materials. Only when gold-filled materials are used, jewellery can then be distinguished from accessories, and can last for a much longer time.
