DATE: Victorian, c.1890

Striking antique crescent brooch dating from the late Victorian era, circa 1890. It's set with particularly vibrant white opal cabochons, each one separated by old cut diamond accents, and displaying spectacular play of colour over a shimmering red body colour. Crafted in 18 karat gold throughout, it features a little jump ring (originally intended for a safety chain) that could very easily be repurposed as a pendant bail.
