Why We Love It

Victorian symbolism abounds in this sizeable antique crescent brooch/pendant! The Victorians were ever fascinated by the night sky, the romantic, and the mysterious! Many jewelry historians interpret crescent jewelry of this period to pay homage to the divine feminine. We think this crescent is divine indeed, with over 5 carats of stunning old cut diamonds that surround bright blue turquoise stones. The Langston brooch is just as stunning worn on the lapel or put on a chain for a conversation-starting, impactful necklace!

*If you plan to wear this as a pendant, we may suggest that we add an additional bail near the top so that it sits more straight. Get in touch if you would like to explore this option!
