Robert Iule Zuni Sterling Silver Moonstone Hearts Pendant Necklace, Rare Design

Pendant is shaped like a bean pod with three moonstone hearts. Although I wasn't' able to capture the iridescent colors of the stones, the subtle Rainbow Moonstone colors can be seen with light & movement. Back of the pendant is signed "R. Iule" Pendant, including bail, is 1-1/2" by 14mm x 2.5mm deep The moonstone hearts are held in place with sawtooth-edged settings. 19" sterling silver chain has a unique spring closure clasp, which is stamped "I. C. C." and "Sterling". The hearts pod design is extremely rare, for Iule. I didn't clean the chain & there are some areas that could use a good polish. This handmade piece is just gorgeous.
