Victorian 18K Gold Rose-Cut Diamond Crescent Moon Brooch
Crescent moon motifs have long captured the imagination, symbolizing femininity, intuition, and the rhythms of life. During the Victorian era, these celestial emblems became especially popular, often gifted as tokens of love and romantic devotion. Their mysterious glow and graceful curves made them enduring icons in antique jewelry design.
This exquisite Victorian brooch embodies that sentiment beautifully. Shaped as a luminous crescent moon, it glistens with three graduated rows of rose-cut diamonds, totaling approximately 1.03 carats. Each diamond is delicately set in silver over rich 18K yellow gold, a traditional technique of the era that enhances the shimmer of the stones without tarnishing the clothes.
Whether pinned to a lapel, perched on a velvet ribbon as a choker or bracelet, or styled on a hat or handbag, this celestial piece offers timeless elegance with modern versatility. With the resurgence of brooches in contemporary fashion, this romantic antique jewel makes a statement that's both nostalgic and fresh.
A perfect treasure for collectors of celestial jewelry—or anyone enchanted by the moon’s eternal charm.
