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.

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!

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.
