.78 Antique Diamond Crescent Moon Pendant Necklace 14k

This Victorian era pendant necklace features a crescent moon design set with 18 old mine cut diamonds in 14 karat yellow gold. Old mine cuts predate modern cutting techniques—they have smaller tables and larger facets that produce a softer, more romantic sparkle compared to today's brilliant cuts.

The diamonds total .78 carats and grade VS1 in clarity, meaning inclusions are difficult to see even under magnification. With I-J color, there's a slight warmth to the stones that actually complements the yellow gold setting nicely. The pendant measures 1.5 inches and hangs from an 18-inch chain, placing it right at the collarbone on most wearers. A lobster clasp keeps it secure.
