Antique Bippart & Co. 14k Gold Seed Pearl Victorian Crescent Moon Honeymoon Pin

About the Item

This extraordinary Antique Victorian Bippart & Co. 14k Gold Seed Pearl Crescent Moon Brooch beautifully encapsulates the Victorian fascination with celestial symbolism and the exquisite craftsmanship of Bippart & Co. jewelry. During the Victorian era, jewelry designs often incorporated symbolic elements, and one of the most beloved motifs was the crescent moon. The crescent moon represented femininity, mystique, and the connection to the celestial realm. It often signified the changing of the seasons in one's life, and it wasn't uncommon to see Honeymoon brooches that featured a crescent moon. This brooch pays homage to this cherished Victorian symbolism, capturing the delicate curve of the crescent moon with grace and elegance. Bippart & Co. Jewelry, a prominent jewelry company during the Victorian era, was renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. Established in 1867 in Newark, New Jersey, by Ernest Bippart and Charles F. Bippart, the company quickly gained recognition for its exquisite creations. Bippart & Co. Jewelry exemplified the Victorian era's dedication to quality and artistry, and their pieces were highly sought after by discerning patrons. The company ceased business in the 1930s and Krementz & Co. purchased their tools & dies. Crafted in 14k gold, this brooch showcases the superior craftsmanship that Bippart & Co. was celebrated for. The luminous seed pearls are meticulously set along the crescent moon, radiating a soft and ethereal glow. The intricate detailing and the delicate arrangement of the pearls accentuate the elegance of the piece, making it a true testament to the skill and artistry of the era. As an authentic antique piece, this brooch not only possesses inherent beauty but also carries a rich history. It is a tangible connection to the Victorian era, a time when jewelry served as a reflection of values, emotions, and societal ideals. Very good condition commensurate with age and use. All pearls are present with lustrous nacre and the pin back functions well. Hallmarked with the Bippart & Co. torch symbol and 14K. Measures 1.25" long by 0.4 inches wide. Pearl diameters range from 2.0-3.1mm.
