Description

A stunning, fine and impressive 3.50 carat Burmese sapphire and 1.65 carat diamond, 18 carat white gold crescent brooch; part of our diverse collection of antique crescent brooches.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique Victorian sapphire brooch has been crafted in 18ct white gold.

The pierced decorated crescent shaped frame is embellished with seven pavé set graduated cushion cut Burmese sapphires, totalling 3.50cts.

The feature gemstones alternate with eight pavé set Old European cut diamonds totalling 1.65cts.

The impressive antique crescent brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and safety clasp.

This crescent brooch has been independently tested using state of the art technology (Niton XL2 Analyzer) and verified as 18 carat gold.

This impressive Victorian sapphire brooch is supplied with an IDGL diamond and gemstone grading report card, in addition to a sapphire report card and certificate supplied by the Gemmological Certification Services, London*.

Such examples with untreated Burmese sapphires are becoming increasingly difficult to locate; this brooch is one of the finest of its type you could hope to acquire.

A Burmese sapphire crescent brooch offers elegant symbolism, making it an ideal gift for milestone birthdays, anniversaries or graduations — particularly for September birthdays or lovers of celestial and antique jewellery.

NOTE: * This documentation accredits the sapphire originating in Myanmar (Burma) and certifies 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 in this Victorian brooch.

Condition

This stunning antique crescent brooch is exceptional quality, set with impressive sapphires displaying fine colour, brilliance and presence.

The impressive high colour graded diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

The sapphire and diamond brooch is an exceptional gauge of gold and is in exceptional condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this impressive example of sapphire jewellery.

Crescent-shaped jewellery gained immense popularity during the Victorian era, often symbolising fidelity, new beginnings, and the moon, frequently incorporating diamonds and coloured gemstones.

Pieces from this period typically utilised gold, silver-topped gold, or early platinum settings, featuring hand-cut gemstones secured with claw or collet settings crafted by traditional metalsmiths.

Authentic pieces exhibit period-specific characteristics such as hand-cut old European or mine-cut diamonds, closed or open-backed settings appropriate to the era, hand-engraved details, and traditional pin stems with c-clasps or tubular hinges.

An antique brooch can be worn pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastening a silk scarf, secured at the neckline of a blouse, or repurposed as a pendant on a delicate chain.

Store pieces individually in soft-lined jewellery boxes to prevent scratching, avoid exposure to harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths which can damage fragile settings or treated stones, and have the prongs professionally checked periodically.
