<p>[QUOTE="Joan, post: 9503827, member: 5398"]The earrings were made to go with Trifari's coronation crown brooch, which came in several variations. The examples I've seen online call the stones moonstone, moonstone glass or faux moonstone (I didn't find any called moonglow). Yours seem to have more of a tiger eye effect than any of the crown brooch and earring examples I've seen, so a matching brooch might be hard to find. If someone has only the matching crown brooch, I suspect they'd covet your earrings.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here's a set showing a different variation of the earrings and the matching crown brooch. <a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/235106387397?mkcid=16&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Pt9L_zGxTMW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iRwL2pcoRlC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE&nma=true&si=5o2koE78NDsy5TMzcnJcsk7Sj9o%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/235106387397?mkcid=16&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Pt9L_zGxTMW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iRwL2pcoRlC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE&nma=true&si=5o2koE78NDsy5TMzcnJcsk7Sj9o%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/235106387397?mkcid=16&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=Pt9L_zGxTMW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=iRwL2pcoRlC&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=MORE&nma=true&si=5o2koE78NDsy5TMzcnJcsk7Sj9o%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449678[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I also found a Trifari bird brooch with a blue stone similar to yours (but not as translucent), which the seller called a moonstone jelly belly (I wouldn't call it a jelly belly since they're typically clear glass cabochons). <a href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/price-result/trifari-small-crown-blue-moonstone-jelly-belly-swallow-brooch/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.liveauctioneers.com/price-result/trifari-small-crown-blue-moonstone-jelly-belly-swallow-brooch/" rel="nofollow">https://www.liveauctioneers.com/price-result/trifari-small-crown-blue-moonstone-jelly-belly-swallow-brooch/</a></p><p>[ATTACH=full]449679[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
