Antique Edwardian Turquoise & Seed Pearl Brooch

A delightful Antique Edwardian Turquoise & Seed Pearl Brooch featuring a turquoise set crescent moon and a seed pearl set swallow and floral and foliate motifs.

'Crescent moons represented female empowerment and spirituality, and of love and fertility. Allegedly, wearing a crescent moon was also a signal that a single woman wanted to get married...'

SEDGWICKS pride ourselves on sourcing and selling Antique & Estate Jewellery that is of fine quality and in great condition.

Antique & Estate Jewellery is seldom in perfect or ‘new’ condition as age is inherent for it to be classified as such. Nearly all items we sell are ‘Second-hand’ and will almost certainly show some signs of wear. These may include faint scuffmarks and small dents, even very minor repairs. These are considered acceptable when dealing with objects that have lived a full life. Any imperfections or minor damage will be listed in the description and visible in the photo.

We do ask that you carefully view the photographs provided and note we are happy to supply more images or fuller description if requested.

To help you make your assessment, many higher value items are accompanied by an Independent Valuation for Retail or Insurance
