Brooches in the shape of a crescent moon were very fashionable at the end of the 19th century. Ladies of the time often wore them in combination with various other brooches on the neckline of their magnificent dresses or on the collar of their high-necked blouses. Many moons were decorated solely with diamonds, but colorful designs were also created, sometimes with several rows of precious colored stones, diamonds or pearls. This brooch is also a beautiful example from the family of so-called "crescent brooches", as the brooches popular in the English-speaking world were called. Set in gold-plated and patinated silver, fifteen old-cut diamonds totaling around 1.25 carats are set in a sparkling row. These are beautiful, cushion-shaped diamonds in the old mine cut, the forerunner of the modern brilliant cut. The brooch was created in the years before the turn of the last century. It refers to the oriental fashion of the time, transports us to stories from the Arabian Nights, exudes a touch of the exotic and distinguishes the person wearing it as both educated and sensual. A small thread on the back reveals that the moon could originally be screwed onto a hairpin. A wonderful piece of jewellery that found its way to us from Hamburg.
