A beautifully detailed antique 15ct gold brooch designed as a crescent moon with leaf detailing and the sweetest applied flower to the centre. Dating to c.1880s, this charming piece sits comfortably in the late Victorian period. Victorian brides wore brooches with a crescent moon cradling a flower on their honeymoon. These sweet styles are therefore called honeymoon brooches. Considered to represent ‘the magic of the moon and the sweet nectar of the flower’.
