Brooches in the form of the crescent moon first came into fashion in the middle of the 19th century. Star and crescent moon were part of a great Orient fashion at that time. Unlike in the centuries before - in the 18th century, after all, the Turks were still standing outside Vienna - the Ottoman Empire was no longer seen as a threat, but as a desirable, foreign and exotic counterpart. Especially after Prussia's closing of ranks with the Ottomans in the Crimean War of the 1850s, people loved the Orient with all its foreign characteristics, which was then extensively traveled and explored. The ladies of the time wore these brooches in conjunction with various other pieces at the neckline of their magnificent dresses. Many of the moons were decorated exclusively with diamonds in order to create a certain colorful closeness to the natural model. But more colourful designs were also implemented, often with several rows of precious gems. Mostly diamonds were combined with sapphires or rubies. The brooch presented here is a late echo of this moon and stars fashion of the 19th century - because, according to its workmanship and diamond cuts, it was created only towards the end of the 20th century. The brooch is forged from 14-karat white gold and set with 21 diamonds. The diamonds have a total weight of about 0.45 ct. A beautiful piece that reminds us of the long tradition of moon jewellery.
