Sometimes we find pieces that are extra magical, I can't explain exactly why, but this crescent is one of those pieces. I think it's a combination of the condition, nearing 150 years old and still looking this fresh? The cut and colour of the gemstones? The detail of the setting? The buttery tone of the gold? Or, how it all comes together. It is sublime.
 
A wonderful every day size, this one will not disappoint.
