"A Crescent Brooch or Pin, as they are not unusually called, is always a desirable gift, and a decided acquisition to milady's jewel box. It matters not how numerous the variety in other brooches, one must have a crescent effect numbered as among the jewelled treasures." So enthused a jewelry catalog from the Toronto jeweler Kent in 1904, when the crescent moon had long been one of the most popular motifs of the era. We reproduce a page from the catalog. Crescent moons had been used as a model for jewelry designs since the late 19th century and were a must in every jewelry box of the time. This brooch, created around 1895, also reflects this elegant fashion. It is made of warm gold and richly decorated with natural pearls. We discovered this small but beautiful piece of jewellery in London, where it was probably made.
