Antique Flower Crescent Pin, ca 1860
Our Notes
While not huge in scale, this pin is loaded with strong messaging and symbolism! There are four motifs tucked into this lovely diamond and enamel silhouette: a rose, sword, ivy, and crescent moon. Their hidden meanings all string together a strong message of love, fertility, protection, courage, and endurance.
Emily fell in love with the manner that the diamonds are set in the enamel, almost as a predecessor to plique-à-jour enamel.

Care
As our jewelry is worn, patinas will evolve, further personalizing them to each collector. Due to the nature of foiled jewelry, care should be taken in order to keep Larkspur & Hawk jewelry from becoming harmed. A few tips:
- Remove jewelry when applying lotions, soaps and perfume
- Remove jewelry before immersing hands in cleaning solvents or liquids
- Please note that oxidation may eventually wear off of rings, then return naturally
