Edwardian Carved Moonstone Man in the Moon Brooch with a Border of Natural Pearls & Diamonds

670U
40 Admirers Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

The early twentieth century was a period when there was great interest in the lunar cycle. It was surrounded by mysticism and gave rise to jewels that featured the man in the moon. The obvious stone to use was a moonstone but there are cheaper versions in moulded glass.  This platinum brooch is top quality and the moonstone has been beautifully carved with a smiling man in the moon. He is framed  by rose cut diamonds to evoke twinkling stars and a ring of natural pearls.  The brooch comes in the original Burgundy red Moroccan fitted case.
