ABOUT THIS ACCESSORY

Diana, the twin sister of Apollo, was the goddess of quite a few things—including the moon—and was often depicted wearing a crescent version of the celestial body in her hair. Though you might not rule the moon, this extraordinary hairpin from renowned San Francisco jeweler Shreve & Co. will allow you to give Diana a bit of competition. Crafted in 14K yellow gold - around the turn-of-the 20th century - with a gleaming, satiny finish, the captivating crescent twinkles with a trio of bright European-cut diamonds in star settings atop a substantial pin, and is ready to add heavenly flair to your hair. Utterly unique, exceedingly rare, it is signed and accompanied by its original felt sleeve.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
