Antique 5.62ct Diamond and 9ct Yellow Gold Crescent Brooch Circa 1900

1900 - 1920
For Sale by AC Silver
Description

A stunning, fine and impressive, antique 5.62 carat diamond and 9 carat yellow gold, silver set crescent brooch; part of our diamond jewellery collection.

This stunning, fine and impressive antique diamond brooch has been crafted in 9ct yellow gold with a silver setting*.

The crescent shaped, pierced decorated frame is ornamented with a central 0.68ct Old European round cut diamond, flanked on either side by a 0.52ct and 0.50ct feature diamond.

The silver set design is embellished with a further twenty-two claw set Old European round cut diamonds, graduating in size dependant on location; the goldsmith has carefully selected evenly matched, high-quality, hand-cut diamonds.

The brooch secures to the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp.

This 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 Victorian brooch is supplied with five IDGL diamond grading report certificates for the feature stones, in addition to an IDGL diamond grading report card for the supporting stones.

This graduated diamond crescent brooch in gold serves as a heartfelt gift. Traditionally, diamonds signify strength, lasting love and commitment, enhanced by the enduring warmth of the gold setting. This unique brooch is an excellent choice for celebrating milestone birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduations, retirement events or notable personal accomplishments.

* The diamonds are set in silver atop a 9ct yellow gold gallery and backing, a characteristic setting technique of the Victorian era in which silver was used to enhance the white appearance and brilliance of the diamonds, whilst the yellow gold backing prevented the tarnishing of silver from coming into contact with clothing.

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 crescent brooch is excellent quality, set with stunning feature diamonds displaying a fine white colour, brilliance and presence.

The impressive supporting diamonds display a fine white colour and brilliance.

This diamond crescent brooch is an excellent gauge of gold and silver and is in excellent condition.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this fine example of antique jewellery/estate jewelry.

This Victorian brooch is an antique crescent-shaped jewellery piece from circa 1900, created in 9ct yellow gold with a silver setting and a total diamond content of 5.62 carats. The pierced decorated frame holds a central Old European round cut diamond flanked by graduated feature stones, alongside twenty-two further claw set Old European round cut diamonds along the silver and gold band, securing at the reverse with a hinged pin and clasp. The silver and yellow gold construction shows a curved silhouette tapering toward the terminal ends, claw settings holding each individual stone, and a visible pin fastener at the reverse. Measuring 0.44 cm high, 2 cm wide, and 7.1 cm deep, this piece is worn fastened to garments such as lapels, collars, or scarves as a personal accessory in formal or everyday settings. Diamonds symbolise strength, lasting love, and commitment, while the gold and silver metals provide an enduring warmth and a bright white appearance against clothing.

Crescent moon motifs became widely popular during the late Victorian era, symbolising change, spiritual growth, and female empowerment in celestial jewellery design.

Brooches from around 1900 frequently incorporated diamonds set into silver-topped yellow gold mountings to enhance the bright, white appearance of the gemstones.

Authentication involves examining period-specific pin fasteners, dual-metal silver-on-gold settings, hand-cut diamond facets, and historical assay marks.

These pieces can be fastened to jacket lapels, secured onto silk scarves, attached to velvet ribbons as chokers, or woven into hair arrangements for formal events.

Store the item separately in a soft-lined box, clean gently using warm soapy water with a soft brush, and have claw settings inspected periodically by a jeweller.
