Description
THIS PIECE HAS BEEN SOLD.
Truly one of the prettiest honeymoon brooches I've seen, this Art Nouveau era piece contains one natural ruby and five natural sapphires--all of gorgeous color--set within a crescent moon and flower frame with artfully placed seed pearls. Honeymoon brooches were given to a bride and became very popular during the late Victorian/Art Nouveau period. This one is particularly gemmy and really beautifully designed!
Measures 7/8" in diameter. Not stamped but acid-tested for metal content. Illegible maker's mark. All stones in good condition with minor wear typical of age.
