An antique 9ct gold brooch dates from the 1910s in a Victorian style, measuring 3.5 cm high by 1.4 cm wide and weighing 3 grams. The piece incorporates a bar pin design with claw-set rubies and a central crescent moon motif holding a seed pearl cluster. Hallmarks on the side of the bar include a crown, 375, a cat's face, and a date letter S. The warm gold metalwork presents a polished finish alongside darker reddish-pink gemstones and creamy white pearls. Visible details include red stones accentuating the crescent frame, pointed ends along the bar mechanism, and tiny clusters of pearls forming a floral arrangement at the centre. The item is offered in very good antique condition, showing expected signs of use and age. As a small accessory, it can be pinned to garments or displayed within a collection of period jewellery.

FAQs

Crescent moon brooches became prominent during the late Victorian era, frequently symbolising spirituality, change, and feminine energy. Often paired with gemstones like rubies or pearls, these pieces were popular token gifts representing guidance and love.

Brooches from this period were commonly crafted from 9ct or 15ct yellow gold and decorated with natural gemstones such as rubies, sapphires, and seed pearls. Construction relied on handcrafted millegrain settings, claw mountings, and traditional hinged pin fastenings.

Authentic antique pieces generally feature hallmark stamps indicating gold purity, makers marks, or date letters on the reverse or pin stem. Additionally, period-appropriate hand-chased details, antique gem cuts, and historic C-clasp or tube-hinge closures signal authenticity.

An antique brooch can be worn on coat lapels, collared shirts, or silk scarves to add a classic detail to tailored outfits. Alternatively, decorative brooches can be pinned to velvet display cushions or stored in framed shadow boxes within modern interiors.

Seed pearls and rubies require gentle care; avoid immersing pearls in liquid or exposing them to harsh chemicals. Clean the gold surfaces using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and store the brooch in a fabric-lined box to protect delicate settings from abrasion.
