Written by Olly Gerrish

A lovely late Victorian crescent brooch set with sapphires and rose diamonds. The crescent is set with well matched sapphires and diamonds and there is a sapphire 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 sapphire in the middle of the crescent, is associated with “I love you to the moon and back.”
