Victorian women were known to wear jewelry inspired by plants and animals -- including necklaces, earrings, and brooches made to look like insects, bugs, and flowers.

This fun crescent moon brooch would be perfect for anyone with a sense of whimsy.

The dramatic brooch (circa 1870-1900) features three owls resting atop a crescent moon above a fairy and fly. The brooch is unmarked, but acid tests for sterling silver, and the owls have glass eyes.

The piece is in great condition.

Materials: Silver.
