Beautiful "bohemian garnet" brooch in the shape of a crescent moon with a flower.

Deep, rich garnets set into gilt metal. 

This style of garnet jewelry became popular during the Victorian era. See photos for an example of a catalog page from an 1898 Sears catalog showing similar styles.

Crescent moons are a symbol of the divine feminine and were a popular honeymoon gift from a husband to his new wife in the 19th and early 20th centuries. 

+++ Measurements +++

1 3/8" diameter

+++ Condition +++

Lovely condition with normal wear commensurate with age. There may be a tiny stone missing from the tip of the moon, but it is not clear if there was a stone there originally or not. Either way, it is not noticeable. 

+++ Please read +++

This item is not new, and as such, it has wear commensurate with age. As with all older vintage and antique items, please handle with care.
