Victorian 15ct Gold & Silver Crescent Brooch set with Rose Diamonds in Original Case

880T
360 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A really fine quality crescent moon brooch that was made circa 1880 when such brooches were in high demand. They symbolised “new beginnings” so they would have been given as a marriage gift or for the birth of a child. This crescent is more unusual than most crescents as it has been set with graduated rose diamonds and there is a floral motif within the curve that adds extra meaning. The back plate used to have a screw so it may well have been used as part of a tiara or a pendant when not being worn as a brooch. It can also be turned in to a necklace by adding a chain with loops on either side. it comes in the original Moroccan leather case with gold tooled detailing.
