FAQs

Crescent moon brooches gained widespread popularity during the late Victorian and Edwardian periods, representing celestial appreciation and feminine energy. These pieces were often given as tokens of affection, with the crescent shape symbolising change, new beginnings, and guidance.

Jewellery from around 1900 frequently featured 15ct gold, an official British standard used between 1854 and 1931. Gemstones like rubies and diamonds were commonly set using hand-carved claw or grain settings to maximize light reflection.

Authentic 15ct gold items are typically marked with 15 or .625 hallmarks on the reverse or near the pin mechanism. Inspection of the gemstones under magnification will often reveal hand-cut facets and period-appropriate setting construction rather than modern precision casting.

An antique crescent brooch can be attached to the lapel of a modern blazer, affixed to a silk scarf, or placed on a fabric handbag. They are also frequently converted into pendant necklaces or worn alongside other antique pins for a curated look.

Clean the item using warm water, mild liquid soap, and a soft-bristled brush around the gemstone settings. Avoid chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature changes, storing the brooch flat in a soft-lined box to prevent abrasion.
