Victorian Diamond Crescent Brooch

613K
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A stunning diamond set large crescent brooch that was made circa 1880. The diamonds are well matched and graded old mine cut stones, and are a wonderful bright white colour. It is beautifully made with a brooch fitting that unscrews so that it could have been attached to another piece of jewellery such as a tiara. The diamonds are set in silver with a gold back which was the normal practice at this period. The crescent moon signified the start of a relationship which, it was hoped, would “wax” into a marriage.

Ollys Pick

This is the best example of a crescent brooch that we have ever purchased.
