Silver paste crescent

Antique silver paste crescent pendant on a niello silver bolt ring

For sale is a gorgeous crescent charm made in silver and set with brilliant cut paste stones. It was once a brooch that has professionally made into a pendant, with a small loop and a 9ct gold jump ring added. German hallmarks on the reverse of the piece got slightly rubbed during the conversion process, but these revealed the silver to be .935, and another mark which put it in the 1900-1910 era. We have paired it with a wonderful Imperial Russian niello bolt ring, bought as made in circa 1900 and with a control mark to its pin.

If you wish to buy the crescent without the bolt ring, please get in touch and we can adjust the listing for you.
