A late Victorian gold split pearl and diamond crescent brooch, circa 1900.

The lot is in good overall condition with light scratches and small dents in keeping with general wear. There are some areas of heavier scratches and discolouration. The pin is a base metal replacement. There is a very small line of the openwork gallery missing right to the end of the crescent. The split pearls are well matched with a yellowy cream body colour and minor abrasion. Estimated diamond weight 0.04ct, the diamond is too small to accurately assess colour/clarity grades. The brooch is unhallmarked.
