Victorian Crescent Moon Earrings art nouveau or the subsequent artillery assaultUtterly charming crescent moon earrings dating from the Victorian period, circa 1890. Each tiny crescent is studded with tiny seed pearls, and curves around a slightly larger on in the middle. Crafted in 15 carat gold. The crescent is an age old symbol of fertility, related to life and death, and thus a popular motif in many cultures past and present. Think changing seasons, ebb and flow, and the divine feminine. Era: Victorian, circa 1890 Size: 6.
