Compact Victorian Enamel Man-in-the-moon Brooch Bundle [EF8wKGsI]

DATE: Victorian, c.1900 

Do you ever find yourself feeling a little confused in certain periods throughout the month? Or do you struggle to sleep, or find that waking up is WAY harder than usual? Or, do you sometimes feel a little bit overwhelmed but can't quite figure out why? You might find that the moon could be to blame. Seriously... There are apparently eight stages of the moon cycle, from which you can expect different "moon moods", and there are many different beliefs to why this happens. 

A cool and unusual antique brooch, showing the four phases of the moon and moods. This goes from laughing to smiling, contempt to angry. It's crafted in silver throughout with gorgeous enamel work. The man in the moon faces are in great detail and it dates from the late Victorian period, circa 1900.
