This Victorian ruby and diamond crescent brooch is crafted in 18k gold and silver and weighs 13.2 grams. Measuring 95 mm in length and 9 mm in width, the crescent form is elongated, deliberate, and architecturally balanced, designed to sit with quiet confidence on the body.
Set with approximately 2.30 carats total weight of rubies, the stones are evenly graduated along the arc, displaying rich saturation and continuity of color. They are paired with approximately 2.16 carats total weight of old mine cut diamonds, G–I color and VS–SI clarity, whose soft, period light complements the depth of the rubies without overpowering the composition.
The brooch is fitted with a locking safety catch and tests as 18k gold and silver. In very good vintage condition, it reflects Victorian priorities of balance, material integrity, and visual harmony. A piece made to be worn with intention and unmistakably of its time.
