Dreamy Crescent Moon Brooch in Gold & Pearls

The last decade of the 19th Century brought symbolism and mysticism into every area of life as people contemplated the new century and what it might bring. Moons, stars, comets, and other heavenly phenomena were popular motifs in clothing and jewelry. This elegant crescent moon brooch is crafted of rich 14k yellow gold and set with a graduated curve of natural pearls. The gold is twisted and each pearl is inset within each twist, creating a romantic seashell effect. Engraved detail embellishes each end of the crescent. Such a dreamy piece. Circa 1900.

Details.....The crescent measures 2.71" long and measures 0.24" at its widest point. In Very Good Antique Condition. You should always expect some wear on antique and vintage jewels; we consider it part of their charm.
