A flute-playing clown suspended inside a two-tone pearl moon.
This MIKIMOTO Moon Clown Pearl Brooch in 925 silver with gold plating and white pearls with a flute-playing clown seated within a crescent moon, from MIKIMOTO's vintage Japanese figural-jewellery lane, has been authenticated by Sold Attire's 10-step verification process and listed with full disclosure of inclusions. Its articulated pearls and crescent silhouette make it a true figural collector piece. Kokichi MIKIMOTO changed pearl jewellery in 1893 by making cultured-pearl craft a discipline rather than a matter of luck. Exact international asks confirm a distinct market for this unusual moon-and-clown design. For those who buy once and buy right, this brooch is that piece.

The Vision ›
Place it high on a black tuxedo jacket for dinner beside the Nile, then use it on a camel coat with a fine white knit for a daytime Cairo contrast. The crescent reads from across the room, while the pearls reward a closer look.
The Provenance ›
MIKIMOTO figural brooches carry the pearl house into a more theatrical collector lane. This flute-playing clown sits within a gold-plated crescent, with four pearls integrated into the costume and moon. The result is jewellery with narrative, movement and a distinctly Japanese taste for precise miniature objects.
The Dialogue ›
Is this the known MIKIMOTO moon clown design?
The supplied Star Buyers record identifies it as a MIKIMOTO brooch, and the visible design matches the recognized flute-playing clown seated inside a crescent moon with pearl accents.
How does Sold Attire rate the condition?
Sold Attire rates it 9 of 10. The pearls show visible luster loss, while the two-tone silver and gold-plated surfaces show normal handled wear.
Why does this piece sit in a collector lane?
The 15.6 g two-tone construction, four integrated pearls and recognizable moon-and-clown motif make it scarcer and more design-specific than a conventional floral pearl brooch.
The Care ›
Keep the brooch away from perfume, moisture and abrasive polishing cloths. Wipe it gently after wear, avoid silver dip and aggressive gold cleaning, fasten the pin, and store it separately to protect the pearl drops.
