Description:
This gorgeous Victorian love token has a secret on the inside: a beautiful inscription, Forever Thine, hand engraved for the wearer. In Victorian times, the crescent moon symbolized a new beginning, and was sometimes given to a significant other indicating matrimonial intent. An antique promise ring, of sorts. This lovely example has a crescent filled with tiny rose cut diamonds, reminiscent of the night skies. Made of rose gold, and set with three ethereal opal cabochons, this is truly a ring made for moon watching with a loved one.

Wear it With:
Your eyes to the sky on a warm summer night.
