The history of the half moon in jewelry

Half moons are highly symbolic, stand for many things and can be given on numerous occasions. Half moons, which fascinate people because of their meaningful motifs, were often given as gifts in the Victorian era to express the hope that a relationship would grow into marriage. When half moons were worn in the hair, they were traditionally associated with the goddess Diana, the patroness of nature and wild animals, childbirth, fertility, the night and crossroads. 

As a gift for a loved one or for yourself this brooch is steeped in meaning and sentiment. Perfect for its aesthetic appeal or to convey a special meaning, this brooch is beautiful, symbolic and historic.
