(SOLD) Antique Victorian Diamond Crescent Moon and Arrow Brooch
Celestial, Purposeful.
Always aim high. Two favorite 19th century sentimental jewelry motifs — the arrow and the crescent moon — are joined in this delightful late Victorian diamond-set brooch. A sparkling crescent set with chunky old mine cut and rose cut diamonds takes center focus — accented with a creamy pearl. The arrowhead and fletching shimmer with rose cut diamonds. This romantic piece is expertly crafted in silver over gold — with a beautiful silver patina intact, casting a mysterious dark foil for the white diamonds.
We love this brooch clustered with other celestial diamond brooches or worn solo for a sentimental and whimsical accent. For the adventurous, tuck this into a coiffure or pinned to a headband — an homage to the 19th century belles who wore jeweled arrows in their hair. If the buyer would like to convert this to a pendant, please contact us to discuss in advance of ordering.
