Wonderful Moon Brooch With Diamonds In Gold & Silver, Circa 1890

Brooches in the shape of a crescent moon first came into fashion at the end of the 19th century. Ladies of that time often wore them in combination with various other brooches on the neckline of their magnificent dresses or on the collar of their high-necked blouses. Many moons were decorated exclusively with diamonds, but more colorful designs were also implemented, sometimes with several rows of precious coloured stones, diamonds or pearls. The brooch presented here is also a beautiful example from the family of so-called "crescent brooches", as the brooches popular in the English-speaking world were called. Set in gold-plated and patinated silver, fifteen old European cut diamonds of together more than one carat are set in a sparkling row. This gives the piece of jewellery a magnificent appearance. The brooch was probably created in England in the years before the turn of the last century. It refers to the oriental fashion of the time, takes you to stories from the thousand and one nights, exudes a touch of exoticism and distinguishes the peeson who wears it as both educated and sensual. A wonderful piece with beautiful old European cut diamonds that found its way to us from Hamburg.
