Antique 10K Gold Seed Pearl Crescent Moon and Cross Brooch
Description
This antique brooch features a crescent moon motif in yellow gold, inset with a centered cross. The cross is pavé-set with nine small seed pearls of off-white to bone-colored tone. The brooch is constructed with a curved moon body and a simple horizontal hinged pin mechanism on the reverse, secured by a C-clasp. The catch mechanism on the reverse is stamped with the characters 10K, indicating the gold fineness.
Weight: 2 grams.
Condition report:
The brooch is in good antique condition. All nine seed pearls are present, though the top pearl on the cross appears significantly darker than the others (photo 1). There is light surface wear and tarnish consistent with age, notably on the reverse pin and catch (photo 3). The gold surface shows minor scratching and a subtle patina from use.
