it very very special example of an art nouveau femme framed by an ornate almost-floral scalloped crescent moon
this piece was previously a brooch, but the hardware didn't lend itself to versatile styling, so it is newly converted to a pendant with a double bail for elegant movement
this piece has the perfect balance of patina and wear alongside crisp features that have been preserved over the years
so often these older pieces were unmarked or made of various karats, but this one luckily came with plenty of 14k markings, one of which is preserved on the back of the crescent
solid 14k yellow gold with old cut diamonds and seed pearls
M E A S U R E M E N T S
crescent measures ~24mm across
diamonds in the collar measure ~1mm each
large jump ring bail has a 5mm opening
weighs 3.7g ( a sturdier manifestation than many of the hollow forms of the same era)
C O N D I T I O N
in spectacular upcycled antique condition
minor evidence along the back of the pendant where the original brooch hardware was removed
heavier patina throughout the femme's form, which results in a gradation in hues from bright yellow to a paler rosier hue
seed pearls are all original and will show minor surface wear
three grey diamonds in the collar are original, old cut, and free from any chips or cracks
if laying lat on a surface the crescent isn't perfectly level, which isn't discernible when worn and appears to be an original feature, not damage
