Victorian Diamond Crescent Pendant

This is a very special Victorian-era diamond crescent. All the stones are natural diamonds set in silver. Although this may be uncommon nowadays, this was a very common method during the 19th century. The idea was to set a colorless tone (such as diamonds) in a white metal. White gold and platinum did not go into normal use until the early 20th century. Despite the crescent itself being silver, the bale is gold. The pendant is quite large (2 x 0.5 inches).
