Victorian Conversion Iridescent Man in the Moon Charm with Old Mine Cut Diamond
This Victorian converted iridescent man in the moon face has been set into silver by us and paired with a chunky old mine cut diamond of approximately one third of a carat. The moon's surface shimmers with iridescence, and he really does have an irresistibly sweet face. We have finished the piece with an 18ct yellow gold bale and generous jump ring, so he is ready to wear as a charm or pendant on a chain.
The man in the moon has been a beloved motif in jewellery for generations, and was especially popular in the Victorian era, when celestial designs of moons and stars were widely treasured. Old mine cut diamonds were cut by hand, giving each stone a soft, deep sparkle and an individual character that is much sought after by collectors of antique jewellery.
