A beautiful floral or ivy motif takes is form centrally, with two beautiful pearl studded leaves either side the stem and the trefoil studded with a ruby, an old cut diamond and a sapphire.
This central trefoil is framed by a crescent moon. The nine seed pearls are well matched, with a beautiful lustre to them. The topper is crafted in 18 carat gold, buttery and bright.
In the Victorian era, sapphires symbolised fidelity, loyalty and wisdom, while rubies represented passion, love, and desire. Diamonds were often associated with eternal love and enduring strength. The combination of these gems in this piece conveys a message of fidelity, eternal love and new beginnings with the crescent moon.
