The Arts and Crafts movement coincided with late Victorian and early Edwardian era, but has a style different to both as well as having more symmetry when compared to Art Nouveau jewellery of the same period, and here is a very beautiful antique moonstone brooch that sits perfectly on an outfit and will always look so elegant and get the attention that it rightly deserves every time that it is worn.
Made in 15 carat gold in the early 1900's, the brooch measures 52.5mm by 19mm and is set with five wonderful pieces of moonstone that have such a wonderful milky tone to them.
With such a natural floral design around the border, this work is also typical of early Australian jewellery work of the time and no matter where or when this brooch is worn, it will certainly always be appreciated for its beauty and elegance.

Arts and Crafts era antique moonstone brooch made in the early 1900's
This antique brooch is set with five moonstones in a style typical of the Arts and Crafts movement. While just stamped with a 15 carat gold stamp, it is also typical of early Australian jewellery of the period.
The Arts and Crafts period was from the 1880's to the 1920's and originated in England. Quickly spreading throughout Europe, it covered all aspects of art and not just jewellery. Often seen in textiles, furniture and architecture, even though it coincided at the same time as the late Victorian and Edwardian times, which also had the Art Nouveau period influencing the same aspects, it still has its own style. More closely resembling Art Nouveau pieces, whether this be furniture, architecture or jewellery, Arts and Crafts jewellery often has a somewhat more crude design and style to it. Whereas Art Nouveau jewellery was heavily influenced from nature, Arts and Crafts jewellery often shares a similar asymmetrical approach, with a more crude somewhat amateurish look to it. With names such as William Morris often associated the with Arts and Craft movement, this is one area of jewellery that is increasing in popularity more and more.
