Antique Moonstone Talon Charm of 14k Gold sentimental charm The pendant measures 2 inchesAntique Moonstone Talon Charm: This antique charm features a 14k gold talon grasping a moonstone orb. The charm was originally part of a stickpin (circa 1900) that our jeweler transformed by removing the pin and adding a jump ring bail. The use of a "ball and claw" motif originated from ancient Chinese mythology. In ancient times, a dragon's claw clutching a jewel or stone was said to protect the treasure from evil forces attempting to steal it.
