Dazzling Antique Diamond Crescent Moon Pendant

Both the natural sciences and mysticism informed the 19th Century imagination in many ways. Celestial bodies (particularly those easily observed, such as comets and the moon) became important motifs in the arts, fashion, and design.

This stunning Victorian crescent moon pendant is crafted in rich 14k gold and set with a graduated curve of brilliant old European cut diamonds. The diamonds are dazzling, they will snatch your gaze from across the room. Prong set, allowing lots of light to refract through the stones. This pendant is a conversion piece, it started its life as a brooch. Our metalsmith has converted the pin to a bale and added a jump ring, making it easy to wear this wonderful pendant any way you like. Pictured on one of our Ancient Influences married chains, sold separately. Circa 1860.
