From Avon's 1973 catalog, the Moonlustre ring centers a luminous iridescent pearl on a ring of eight soft pink cabochon petals, each cradled in a small gold prong cup. The name refers to the pearl's particular glow — a moony, shifting luster that changes with the light. The pink petals sit somewhere between blush and rose, warm against the gold band, and the whole thing has the cheerful botanical precision of a flower pressed and preserved. A dated named Avon release, which makes it a genuine collectible.
