You know the delight you feel when you suddenly spot a bright sliver of the moon at twilight? That’s the thrill we felt when we first laid eyes on this sophisticated pendant. No mere crescent, this is a slender “fingernail” moon, just that bright edge, describing the fullness to come. A graduated line of chunky, old European cut diamonds (totaling a full two carats), defines the form. The construction of the piece, with a smooth interior curve and a subtle scalloped outer edge, gives each stone just the right amount of definition. Measuring a bit over 2 inches long, it hangs beautifully from a perfectly positioned loop. 18k gold and platinum ca. 1905. Chain sold separately.
