Victorian 18k + Sterling Topped Diamond Crescent Moon Necklace

A beautiful diamond crescent moon necklace from the Victorian era (ca1880)! Crafted in 18kt yellow gold topped in sterling silver, 0.80ctw of Rose Cut diamonds adorn the surface and a lovely foliate design fills the crescent. A gold filigree wirework design is visible from the side of the pendant, completing the feminine design. Originally worn as a pin, the crescent has since been converted into a pendant that now hangs from a gold-filled chain via two points on the crescent, fastening with a spring-ring clasp in the back faintly marked “1/20 12k”. This celestial piece is simply stunning in person and would look wonderful worn at any time of day. It would make a special addition to any collection!

Measurements: The necklace measures approximately 16 1/4″ long. The crescent pendant has a 1 1/8″ diameter and measures approximately 1/4″ thick.

Condition: The overall condition of the necklace is excellent. Besides normal surface wear, there is no apparent damage to the sterling-topped gold setting or to any of the diamonds, all of which are intact. The chain and spring ring clasp are secure and in good working condition.
