Converted from a Victorian brooch, this crescent pendant showcases 11 graduated natural diamonds set in a silver front with a 9-carat gold backing. The diamonds catch and reflect light, creating a delicate sparkle reminiscent of starlight.
During the conversion, one missing diamond was replaced with a round brilliant-cut diamond. Though it differs slightly in cut from the original rose-cut diamonds, its placement and size ensure it blends harmoniously with the piece. The remaining diamonds are all original to the Victorian design.
This crescent is in very good antique condition. Some diamonds display minor nibbles visible only under magnification, and the upper crescent tip is slightly misshapen, consistent with its age.
