Victorian Diamond and Ruby Crescent Moon Brooch in Box

A beautiful antique crescent brooch from 1890–1900, set with a shimmering array of rose cut diamonds, pearls, and a single vivid synthetic ruby, all mounted in silver over gold—a classic late-Victorian combination that enhances the brilliance and texture of the stones. The crescent, a beloved symbol of femininity, intuition, and changing cycles, is rendered with elegant balance and refined craftsmanship.

The brooch measures approximately 1.1 inches by 1.2 inches, weighing 9.06 grams, and is offered with what appears to be it's original box—a rare and desirable survival that adds to its charm and provenance.

The metals have been professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and confirmed with jeweler’s acid testing, authenticating their silver and gold composition. The top of the piece tests as 15ct gold, while the removable findings on the back test as 18k.

In excellent antique condition, this brooch is a timeless example of late Victorian celestial design, perfect for collectors who appreciate symbolic jewels accompanied by their original presentation cases.
