14K Gold Victorian Pearl and Diamond Crescent Moon Pendant

This elongated crescent moon contains graduated alternating pearls and sapphires. The pearls are half-drilled and attached with a post from the back, while the sapphires are bezel set into gold settings that appear cup-like when viewed from the side. The sapphires are a dark shade of blue and have minor inclusions that indicate they are natural. The cut of the sapphires is an old cut with high tables—a beautiful cut with lots of the depth that reveals the age of these antique gemstones. Celestial jewelry was popular during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. This piece was originally a pin; we converted it to have a 14k gold bail and jump ring that allows it to dangle. We love that within this crescent moon, the dark blue of the sapphires evoke a midnight sky. A wonderful celestial piece that conveys moon, stars, and sky. The pendant weighs 4.5 grams and acid tests as 14k. At 3 1/8”, it has a nice long length, and is 1/8” thick. The bail is 5 x 7 mm. There are 12 sapphires that range in size from 2.75 - 1.25 mm and equal 1.25 carats. The 13 pearls range in size from 3.5 - 2.4 mm. The long length and shape of the crescent moon fit nicely next to other pendants, making this a great piece for stacking. It’s shown here with other celestial pieces, also available in our shop.

This crescent moon pendant is from the Alaskan Gold Rush era. The moon is a thin sliver, either a waxing or waning crescent in its moon cycle. On the front of the pendant are pieces of 22k Alaskan gold, which have been carefully soldered on top of a crescent moon 14k gold cutout. The encrusted gold nuggets create a beautiful visual texture. A lovely patina shadows the crevices of the gold, drawing the eye to the unique shape of each nugget. In the center of the pendant is a sliver of fossilized walrus tusk, which was added when the piece was created circa 1910. The sliver of tusk is dimensional, polished into a knife-edge shape, and its colors compliment the pendant’s gold. “Native Gold...

This gorgeous 14K gold arrow features a luminous pink tourmaline. This signature piece was inspired by the arrows of martyrdom of Saint Sebastian. An iconic figure, he was ordered to be killed by the Roman emperor Diocletian. He was persecuted, and punctured by several arrows but survived through all of this. The strength embodied by Sebastian inspired us to select a glowing piece of tourmaline for the arrow tip, a stone that is said to have empowering properties, increase courage, reduce fear, and build self-confidence! The special-cut bold pink gemstone has a total carat weight of 1.75 and is found at the tip of the arrow pendant...
