This very sweet Victorian-era, 19th-century silver 800 crescent moon brooch is a piece of jewelry rich in history and symbolism. The crescent moon, often associated with femininity and empowerment, has long been a favored motif in jewelry design. This brooch features a delicate line of 11 moonstone cabochons, each carefully set along the curve of the moon.

Moonstones were highly prized in the Victorian era for their enchanting blue sheen, known as adularescence. This unique optical effect, created by the stone's internal crystal structure, gives the moonstone a magical, otherworldly glow, making it a preferred gemstone for jewelry with celestial themes.

Versatile in its design, this brooch can be worn traditionally or attached to a ribbon or chain, transforming it into a sweet pendant. Perfect as a unique jewelry gift to offer or to receive.
