Victorian Diamond Crescent Moon Brooch in Original Case

604G
841 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A really fine quality, old mine cut diamond studded crescent moon brooch. It was made circa 1880 when such brooches were in high demand. They symbolized “new beginnings” so would have been given as a marriage gift or for the birth of a child. The back plate unscrews so it may well have been used as part of a tiara when not being worn as a brooch. It was retailed by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths Company in Regent Street who were “By Royal Appointment to the King”.
