Victorian Diamond And Silver Upon Gold Crescent Brooch, Circa 1890, 3.50 Carats

About the Item

An antique crescent moon brooch, the body is set with a row of old-cut diamonds, graduating in size, tapering to rose-cuts, weighing an estimated total of 3.50 carats, claw set in silver-upon-gold, with a plain inner curve and cut down set outer curve, with gold gallery work below, with a later pin and roller catch fitting, English, circa 1890. In Victorian symbolism the crescent or new moon represented a new relationship. Hopeful it will "wax" into matrimony.
