A stunning example of Victorian celestial jewellery, this exquisite crescent moon brooch is crafted in luxurious 18ct gold and adorned with a beautifully graduated array of natural seed pearls. The double-row design enhances its depth and brilliance, while the finely detailed scalloped outer edge adds a striking sense of movement. Crescent moons were a highly symbolic motif during the late 19th century, often representing feminine power, growth, and new beginnings—making this brooch not only a beautiful adornment but also a meaningful keepsake.

Condition: Excellent antique condition with all pearls intact and displaying a lovely, creamy lustre. The gold has developed a rich, warm patina over time. The original C-clasp and safety chain remain secure, ensuring it can be worn with confidence.
