Crescent Brooch

The Victorians had a deep appreciation of symbolic jewellery and their sentimental associations. During the Victorian era, the crescent moon was said to represent the ‘moon goddess’ – celebrating the moon as a powerful feminine goddess and by extension female power. The celestial motif has represented new beginnings for many centuries, often given as a marriage gift or for the birth of a child.

Crescent brooches can be worn in many ways; pinned to jacket lapels, dresses and scarfs. Crescent brooches can also be paired with complimentary stellate style brooches to create a celestial feature.
