Victorian Ruby, Diamond & Natural Pearl Crescent Brooch

127K
Written by Olly Gerrish

A good quality late Victorian brooch with a crescent moon around a natural pearl. The crescent is set with well matched rubies and diamonds and there is a ruby and diamond at each end. The crescent moon dates back to second millennium BC and is the oldest symbol known to man. It became most popular in jewellery in the Georgian and Victorian periods.  Crescent moons celebrated the Feminine moon goddess and are associated with female empowerment. They also symbolise change, as it turns into a full moon and then back just like the ebb and flow of life.  The pearl in the middle of the crescent, is associated with “I love you to the moon and back.”
