A beautiful Victorian crescent moon brooch thoughtfully converted to a ready-to-wear pendant necklace. The graceful crescent surrounds an ornate gold filled floral setting accented with delicate enamel work and centered by a sparkling faceted glass stone, creating a design rich in symbolism and Victorian charm.
The crescent itself is gold plated, while the decorative center element housing the glass stone is gold filled. The original brooch hinge remains intact, though the pin stem is no longer present, allowing the piece to be worn comfortably as a pendant. It could also be sympathetically restored as a brooch if desired. The pendant is suspended from a newer 18¼-inch gold filled chain with a secure spring ring clasp.
