Vintage Crescent Brooch Gold Seed Pearl, c. 1930 victorian bangle this sterling silver locket bearsThere is a tranquil sort of glamour to a brooch like this, an elegance that doesnt announce itself so much as it drifts into view. Seed pearls glow along the curve in a gentle arc, each one a tiny orb of captured light. One can imagine this pinned to the lapel of a 1930's evening coat, catching the faint shimmer of streetlamps on a winter night, worn by someone who understood that the smallest details often tell the most interesting stories.
