An antique crescent moon brooch, set with a single row of old-cut diamonds, graduating in size, tapering to rose-cut diamonds, weighing an estimated total of 4.00 carats, claw set in silver-upon-gold, with a plain inner curve and cut down set outer curve, with a later pin and roller catch fitting, English, circa 1890. In Victorian symbolism the crescent or new moon represented a new relationship. Hopeful it will "wax" into matrimony.
