A crescent moon shines out at us with this brooch of rose gold and fine old-cut diamonds. We feel transported to a balmy summer night. Fifteen glittering old-cut diamonds have come together to form a magnificent crescent moon. The moon was a particularly popular jewelry motif in the last decades of the 19th century. But what explains its great popularity? On the one hand, it may have been an expression of the enthusiasm for the Orient in those years. Especially after Prussia's closing of ranks with the Ottomans in the Crimean War of the 1850s, the Orient became a destination of longing. But the crescent moon, which had once been the attribute of the goddess Diana, also carried mythological connotations. Diana was considered the goddess of the moon and hunting, but also the protector of women. The moon is beautifully preserved and came to us from Stuttgart, Germany. A magnificent piece of jewellery that should not be missing in any collection of Victorian jewellery.
