Blues & the Moon
Pendant / Slide / Brooch

Blues & the Moon is a striking pendant / slide / brooch that I handcrafted from Blue Chalcedony and Moonstone cabochons with .925 Sterling Silver. The subtle hues and translucency of the stones in this piece just tickle me. The lovely white moonstone is almost transparent, and the blue chalcedony seems to light up with gentle blue color.

The pendant is approximately 2.4 " (62.7 mm) long with a bail to accommodate chains up to 8 mm in size. It comes with a bar pin so you can wear it as a brooch pin as well as a necklace pendant.

Chuck says: I find this to be an excellent example of Robyn's wonderful artistic capabilities. The combination of the the semi-transparent moonstone and the translucent blue chalcedony make for an uniquely superb piece of jewelry.

In alignment with the properties of the stone, I crafted this piece with the prayer and intent that the wearer be blessed with balance of body, mind, and spirit.
