Antique Crescent moon and Star brooch, Sapphire and Diamond, 15k gold, Boxed
Located in NEWARK, GB

Finely crafted in the Etruscan revival manner in rich 15ct gold with cannetille detailing and beading around the border.

Stars have a rich history in Georgian and Victorian jewellery and they have continued in popularity since, the Victorians wore them as a symbol of guidance, protection and good luck.
Crescent moons were a popular motif in Victorian jewellery, they are attributed to a number of meanings from feminine strength to changes or new beginnings / chapters.
It is thought that a moon and Star together symbolises love and loving one to the moon and back so this piece is likely to have romantic connotations and was probably gifted as a love token.
This brooch can be worn in many ways and is a stunning, versatile piece, it would look great worn on a lapel or even affixed across your favourite gold chain for a celestial twist.

Antique Victorian Enamel Sterling Silver Yellow Bird on Branch Lapel Pin Brooch
Located in North Attleboro, MA
This hand-crafted antique Victorian brooch was forged from sterling silver and features a sweet enameled yellow bird perched on a silver branch. During the Victorian era, bird watching and aviaries grew quite fashionable due to the work of ornithologist John James Audubon and his publishing of "Birds of America" in the mid-1800s. These trends led to an upswing of interest in bird-themed jewelry, Moreover, Victorians were fascinated with the secret language of love tokens, friendship gifts and mementos that could be discreetly communicated to lovers, friends and family. Birds often communicated love or fidelity. The bird and branch are set on a silver bar flanked with clover shapes, which symbolizes luck or protection for the wearer. The verso is stamped SILVER and the C-clasp is handmade. It's always exciting to find antique jewelry...

110 Carat Floral Diamond Dodge Estate Brooch, Circa 1820
Located in Birmingham, MI
Inundating petals of precious karat gold and silver are encrusted with 324 fine, hand-cut diamonds weighing 110 carats. An exceptional jewel and object d'art of, the brooch became a piece of Americana when acquired by Anna Dilman Dodge in about 1920, then the wealthiest woman in the world. One of Anna's favorites, this breathtaking jewel was often worn with the famous multi- strand natural South Sea pearl necklace ensemble she acquired from Cartier for $1M in 1919, from the estate of the last Russian Empress, Catherine the Great.
Diamonds each individually shaped to achieve organic, natural flow and are predominantly, near flawless clarity with collection- white color. Following Anna's death, much of the Dodge family jewels were first appraised, then sold or acquired by DiMaggio Jewelers and Gemologists from 1982-1984. The brooch has been held privately, mostly untouched, since. The exemplary crafted jewel features the Georgian era's trendy, state -of-the -art movement technique, which by incorporating coiled appendages to leafy diamond clusters, skilled goldsmiths achieved the Tremblant [en Francais] , 'trembling’ petals effect.
Diamond caratage was determined by formula by renowned diamond cutter Dan Fainberg of Jules Fainberg, NY, NY and Anthony DiMaggio...

Antique and Vintage Brooches
Antique and vintage brooches, which are decorative jewels traditionally pinned to garments and used to fasten pieces of clothing together where needed, have seen increasing popularity in recent years.
Given their long history, brooches have expectedly taken on a variety of different shapes and forms over time, with jewelers turning to assorted methods of ornamentation for these accessories, including enameling and the integration of pearls and gemstones.
Cameo brooches that originated during the Victorian age are characterized by a shell carved in raised relief that feature portraits of a woman’s profile, while 19th-century micromosaic brooches, comprising innumerable individually placed glass fragments, sometimes feature miniature depictions of a pastoral scene in daily Roman life.
At one time, brooches were symbols of wealth, made primarily from the finest metals and showcasing exquisite precious gemstones. Today, these jewels are inclusive and universal, and you don’t have to travel very far to find an admirer of brooches. They can be richly geometric in form, such as the ornate diamond pins dating from the Art Deco era, or designer-specific, such as the celebrated naturalistic works created by Tiffany & Co., the milk glass and gold confections crafted by Trifari or handmade vintage Chanel brooches of silk or laminated sheer fabric.
Brooches are versatile and adaptable. These decorative accessories can be worn in your hair, on hats, scarves and on the lower point of V-neck clothing. Pin a dazzling brooch to the lapel of your blazer-and-tee combo or add a cluster of smaller pins to your overcoat. And while brooches have their place in “mourning jewelry,” in that a mourning brooch is representative of your connection to a lost loved one, they’re widely seen as romantic and symbolic of love, so much so that a hardcore brooch enthusiast might advocate for brooches to be worn over the heart.
Today, find a wide variety of antique and vintage brooches on 1stDibs, including gold brooches, sapphire brooches and more.
