Lillicoco

Gothic Antique Silver Ceylon Moonstone Bar Brooch, c.1880

Sold

This Antique Victorian bar brooch is set with four luminous Ceylon Moonstones, each with its own unique shape and ethereal glow. Graduating in size, the cabochons are mounted in striking crown-like claw settings that lend the piece a distinct Gothic Revival look. The Silver has developed a dark patina over time, beautifully contrasting the Moonstones’ silvery-blue adularescence.

A fine example of late 19th-century design, this brooch captures the fascination with mystical gemstones and Gothic motifs during the Victorian era. Elegant yet dramatic, it is a versatile jewel that can be worn across the lapel, scarf, or dress.
