Description
An antique crescent moon brooch, the body is set with two rows of old mine-cut diamonds, graduating in size, weighing an estimated total of 5.40 carats, claw set in silver-upon-gold, with a plain inner curve and cut down set outer curve, with gold gallery work below, with a removable pin and original hook and safety catch fitting. The inner curve is numbered 970D, with a removable trembling hair pin fitting, in a fitted case, circa 1890. In Victorian symbolism the crescent or new moon represented a new relationship. Hopeful it will "wax" into matrimony.
