A truly exceptional Victorian diamond crescent, and exactly the kind of example I love to find. Set with approximately 7.50 carats of beautifully graduated old mine cut diamonds in silver and 12–14k gold. The largest stone is approximately 1.30 carats, with the diamonds matching beautifully in G–H color and VS clarity. Remarkably clean stones with impressive size and presence.
The crescent has beautiful proportions, with a graceful, elongated curve and an open-backed setting. It retains its original Victorian fittings, including the pin stem and traditional C-clasp, which I always love to see on a piece of this quality.
Measuring approximately 70 x 22mm and weighing 7.9 grams, this is an ideal example of a Victorian diamond crescent. Equally stunning worn as a brooch or converted into a pendant. A rare combination of size, quality, and original condition.
