This 18K yellow gold celestial brooch is beautifully custom-crafted in the form of a crescent moon. Nineteen round, brilliant-cut diamonds caress the curve and increase in size from each tip as they converge toward the centre. These diamonds combine for a full carat and are of VS clarity and F-G colour. A lattice-like piercing forms the undergallery and a pin spans across the back.
A moon brooch is an illuminating talisman that is perfect for everyday use, full of hidden meanings and symbolism, and represents female empowerment. The moon is often referred to as "Mother Moon" and is a symbol of new life—the perfect talisman for a new arrival! Crescent moons, in particular, represent womanhood, motherhood and fertility, though several different communities claim the symbol. It can also be symbolic of growth, creativity, intuitiveness and manifestation. Crescent moons in jewellery date back to the Victorian era when they represented spirituality and the glorification of the feminine moon goddess. While the stars were symbols of direction and guidance for the spirit, the crescent moon was also used to represent change, as a moon has multiple phases.
