Antique brooch in the shape of a captivating crescent moon. The sky has long been a source of fascination and inspiration for humans, and the popularity of celestial-themed pieces has not waned over the years. Twenty-one carefully-chosen diamonds of graduating size, totaling 1.10 cts in weight, are set in platinum in characteristic early 20th century style, with a 14k rose gold backing.

This brooch is a stunning example of the sort of craftsmanship that is rare today. These diamonds are old European cut: the successor to old mine cuts, with more refined technique and rounder, more symmetric shape, meticulously hand-cut as machines for stone cutting was not yet available. Eventually, the old European cut would evolve into the modern brilliant cut; however, there's a special charm in these slightly imperfect old diamonds, and the uniquely beautiful fire they display. The side of the brooch features a decorative openwork pattern, a detail so subtle it may not be noticed by others, but shows the masterful skill and meticulous work of the jeweler.

Diamonds est. 1.10 cts, G-H color, VS-SI clarity.

Estimated from 1910-20s.
