Victorian sapphire and diamond crescent brooch
6853
A Victorian crescent brooch set with sapphires and old brilliant cut diamonds in yellow gold and silver, circa 1890
Old brilliant cut diamonds, often referred to as antique or early brilliant cuts, date back to the 19th and early 20th centuries. These diamonds were hand-cut with fewer facets than modern stones, emphasising sparkle and character over precision.
Each gem reflects the craftsmanship of its era, with larger culets and a softer, romantic glow. Their unique charm and vintage appeal make them highly sought-after by collectors and those who appreciate timeless elegance and historical significance.
