Details
There is something quietly poetic about the crescent moon as a jewelry motif, and this French Victorian brooch, circa 1890, renders it beautifully in warm 18k yellow gold. Seven old mine cut diamonds trace the curve of the crescent, their deep culets and soft, candlelight brilliance a hallmark of hand-faceting from an era before electric light shaped the way stones were cut. Together they total approximately 1.25 carats of G-H color, VS-SI clarity diamonds, prized today by collectors precisely for the warmth and character machine-cut stones can't replicate.
Struck with French purity marks, this piece carries the added assurance of period hallmarking, a detail that speaks to both its authenticity and the exacting standards of Continental goldsmiths of the time. At 1.5 inches in length and 9.40 grams, it wears with substance without being heavy or overstated.
A crescent brooch of this vintage is a wonderfully versatile heirloom, equally at home pinned to a lapel, a wide-brimmed hat, or a silk scarf, and it layers effortlessly with other antique gold jewelry for a lived-in, collected-over-time look. For anyone drawn to the romance of the Victorian era, this is a rare chance to own a genuine piece of it.
