This Victorian crescent moon brooch pairs one of the era's most beloved motifs with an oak leaf and acorn spray, a pairing long associated with strength and endurance. Crafted in 14K yellow gold with the warm, rosy tone typical of period American gold work, the piece retains its original oxidized patina in the recesses, giving the leaf veining and acorn cap genuine depth and dimension rather than a flat, modern finish. A partial maker's mark is present on the reverse but remains unattributed. At just over an inch across, this crescent moon pin wears beautifully as a lapel brooch or scarf pin, and its compact scale makes it equally suited to a cluster of antique pins or worn solo. A well-preserved example of American Victorian gold jewelry, offered in excellent, all-original condition.
