| /

Victorian gold crescent moon brooch. A late Victorian jewel from circa 1880 of celestial refinement. The historically important Demantoid garnets, totalling 1.00ct, are prized for their diamond-like fire, vivid green colour and distinctive horsetail inclusions that attest to their Ural Mountain origin. Graduating across a pavé setting, the stones are framed by 27 natural pearls for luminous contrast. Made in 18ct yellow gold and silver, the crescent evokes vitality, renewal and maternal protection. An elegant talisman whose geological rarity and Imperial-era provenance make it a coveted piece of high-end antique jewellery.
