Antique Victorian Sapphire Diamond Crescent Moon Brooch 15 Carat Gold

About the Item

A stunning antique Victorian crescent moon brooch from the late 19th Century adorned with alternating cushion cut blue sapphires and old mine cut diamonds that graduate in size toward the centre. The sapphires have a beautiful royal blue hue and total approx. 3ct. They’re complemented beautifully by the twinkling diamonds which have SI 1 clarity – H colour and total approx. 1ct. Celestial jewellery became increasingly sought after during the 19th Century as people began to look up at the stars and heavens once more with renewed fascination. The crescent moon was a symbol of the Greek God Selene, the feminine moon Goddess and represented change and female empowerment in the Victorian Era. The piece is crafted in 15ct gold with fabulous, pierced metalwork around the sides and a double pin at the back. It’s a striking piece, displaying a gorgeous collection of contrasting gems.

  • Antique Crescent moon and Star brooch, Sapphire and Diamond, 15k gold, Boxed
    Located in NEWARK, GB
    This magnificent antique Victorian era crescent moon and Star brooch is really something special. Finely crafted in the Etruscan revival manner in rich 15ct gold with cannetille detailing and beading around the border. It features a crescent moon to the centre with a diamond and sapphire set star nestling into the moon. 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. Lots of symbolism and meaning wrapped up into this pretty piece. It has an old C type clasp and pin fastener. It comes in an antique brooch box...
