Antique Victorian 15ct Gold Pearl Crescent Moon Pin Brooch

The Victorians were deeply thoughtful and symbolic in their jewelry, often imbuing each piece with rich meaning. The crescent moon, one of the oldest symbols known to humanity, dates back to the second millennium BC. Its popularity surged during the Georgian and Victorian eras, first in brooches and later in other forms such as pendants. The crescent moon celebrates the feminine moon goddess, symbolizing female empowerment and the cyclical nature of life, reflecting the ebb and flow as it waxes and wanes.

This Victorian crescent brooch is a stunning example of the era's craftsmanship, fashioned from 15k gold and adorned with luscious graduating pearls. The brooch is in exceptional condition, with all 25 pearls flawless and securely set. The pin is strong, thick, and functions perfectly, ensuring that this piece remains a treasured addition to any collection.

As a timeless symbol of love and femininity, this brooch would make a meaningful gift or a cherished keepsake.

The brooch has developed a slight patina over time and has not been professionally cleaned, leaving that decision to its new owner. It has been gently wiped with a soft jewelry cleaning cloth.
