A beautiful diamond set crescent pendant, created from an antique brooch by our Goldsmith. The Diamonds are graduated old cuts set in silver, with the largest centre stone measuring 2.8mm. A lovely sparkle from the diamonds! There is some natural variation in the colour, with some Diamonds having warmth up to a pale yellow colour. 
 
Sometimes known as a honeymoon piece, the crescent moon signified new beginnings and divine female power in the victorian era.
