This Victorian brooch takes the form of a crescent moon in 9ct yellow gold, holding a curved arc of seven graduated oval blue sapphires alternating with twelve small accent diamonds. The setting uses claw mounts along the tapered, pointed ends of the crescent frame, whilst the reverse reveals a hinged pin and safety clasp behind the gold mounting. Measuring 0.374 cm high, 1.1 cm wide and 5.1 cm deep, the jewel sits as a standalone piece of antique body ornament. In a modern interior setting, this small accessory finds its home pinned to lapels, scarves or collars as personal attire. The item reflects late nineteenth-century celestial jewellery trends through its alternating blue and colourless stones within a curved yellow gold framework. The design incorporates pointed extremities, alternating gemstone shapes and a visible metal hinge mechanism on the reverse.

Crescent moon jewellery gained immense popularity during the late Victorian era, frequently given as tokens to symbolise spiritual change, womanhood, and new beginnings.

These pieces were typically forged from yellow gold or silver-topped gold, set with gemstones including sapphires, rubies, pearls, and diamonds.

Authentic late Victorian examples feature period-specific gemstone cuts, hand-finished gallery settings, and traditional C-clasp or elongated pin fittings.

An antique brooch can be pinned to coat lapels, fastened onto silk scarves, attached to fabric handbags, or worn as a choker ornament on a velvet ribbon.

Clean gently using lukewarm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or submersion that could compromise antique mountings.
