An exquisite antique Victorian crescent moon brooch from the late 19th Century decorated with seven turquoise, three pearls and twelve old mine cut diamonds.
Star and Moon images became popular during the late 19th Century as an interest in astronomy grew. Crescent moons were seen as a symbol of the feminine moon goddess and represented change and female empowerment in the Victorian Era.
The piece is modelled in silver and backed in 18ct gold including the lovely, curved pin. It’s highly collectable and a wonderful piece of history.
