This seed pearl and diamond star crescent is full of whimsy. The attention to detail is a real marvel as is the design of this piece; each pearl has been hand-placed, bead set to create the undulating effect. During the late Victorian era we see feminine and nature motifs juxtaposed with luminous gemstones and celestial designs. We see gorgeous and unique pieces such as this one, of superior craftsmanship and sublime precision. The center of the radiating star features a small white diamond.
