    Flea market find, I'm thinking it's early 20th century is that correct? It's brass, the stones look a bit yellow in the photos but are brighter in person.

    I'm sure the joolies will be along to help soon! I just wanted to say that I don't believe it's meant to be a crescent moon, though it is a curved shape. JMHO.
    Pretty!

    It’s a crescent moon, yes and they were a common motif in Victorian and Edwardian jewellery. It’s brass and glass, early twentieth. I’ve seen a lot of stuff made as copies of precious jewels, I’d think so that working class women could have pretties.

    I bow to your superior knowledge! :)
    I was just making a very uneducated observation based on the shape.
