Details
Dating to the late 19th century, this stunning antique Victorian crescent moon brooch is masterfully crafted in silver and 18ct yellow gold. A graceful arc of graduated old mine-cut diamonds sparkle along the centre, while a border of twinkling rose cuts chase around the border. The interplay of the contrasting cuts creates a dazzling display and combine to approx. 3.5 carats.
Celestial motifs rose to prominence in the 19th century as renewed fascination with the stars and heavens inspired jewellers and collectors. The crescent moon, associated with Selene, the Greek goddess of the moon, symbolized femininity, and new beginnings, an emblem that resonated deeply with the growing movement toward female empowerment in the Victorian era.
This exquisitely crafted Victorian diamond crescent brooch is in pristine condition and fitted with a strong pin and long safety chain for added security when worn. Whether adorning a lapel, scarf, or handbag, it shimmers with the eternal light of the stars, an enchanting Victorian treasure of enduring beauty.
