What a find this is, with a magical Victorian crescent moon of colourful opals, finished with two small seed pearls.
 
There are eleven opals, with the centre seven being oval shapes and the end four are round. Created from a brooch by our goldsmith, it is ready to hang on a chain.
 
There is some age appropriate wear, like a tiny blemish under one claw, but it is in remarkably good antique condition.
