19th century
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian 4.86 carat Thai ruby, 0.88 carat diamond, 9 carat yellow gold and silver set crescent shaped brooch; part of our diverse range of ruby brooches.

This stunning and impressive antique Victorian brooch has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold with a silver setting.

The scalloped outer circumference of the crescent-shaped setting is embellished with twenty-three claw set graduated round faceted cut natural Thai rubies, totalling 4.86ct.

The inner border of the design is ornamented with twenty-nine subtly graduated diamonds, emanating from central Old European cuts to Dutch and eight cuts.

The impressive pierced decorated brooch secures with a detachable hinged pin and clasp to the reverse; this detachable feature indicates the high quality of the piece.

This stunning antique Victorian Thai ruby and diamond crescent brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 9 carat gold and silver.

This impressive brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card*.

Such untreated Thai ruby brooches in this high quality are becoming increasingly difficult to locate; this crescent brooch is one of the finest examples of its type you could hope to acquire.

NOTE: * The Gemmological Certification Services (GCS) lab has verbally (report number 5785-0386) accredited the rubies originating in Thailand and verifies that the gemstone shows no indications of heating.

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.

Condition

This stunning antique 1890s brooch is excellent quality, set with stunning natural rubies displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The impressive diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

The brooch is an excellent gauge of gold and is in excellent condition.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

In Victorian jewellery, the crescent moon symbolised change, rebirth, and womanhood, frequently gifted to mark significant life events or spiritual transitions during the late nineteenth century.

Late Victorian brooches commonly featured gold settings, often combined with silver-topped fronts to accentuate diamond brilliance, alongside precious gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, and diamonds.

Authentic Victorian pieces feature hand-cut gemstones, silver-fronted gold settings, period-accurate pin fittings such as C-clasps, and hallmarkings consistent with late nineteenth-century manufacturing.

An antique gemstone brooch can be worn on jacket lapels, fastened to silk scarves, attached to collar points, or styled as a hair accessory within an updo for formal occasions.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft-bristled brush, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners, harsh chemicals, or rapid temperature changes that could compromise the gemstone settings.
