The house's Slice Watermelon is a closed wedge, listed at 3.5 by 5.5 inches and 4 inches deep, an object you hold like a small sculpture. The Crescent does something else. It keeps the curve of the fruit and drops the bulk: a half-moon only 2 inches deep that rides flat against the body. Same joke, told in profile instead of volume, and far less literal than the wedge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe body is paved by hand in red, emerald-green and clear crystal, with crystal seeds standing in for the pips, all set into a silver-tone metal frame. The clasp sits at the top and is itself crystal-set, so the closure disappears into the pavé rather than interrupting it. The interior is lined and fitted with a single slip pocket sized for a card or a lipstick. A detachable silver-tone chain strap clips on when you want it crossbody and comes off when you want a clutch. It measures 3.5 inches high, 6.25 wide and 2 deep, and it was made in Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRead it as a brooch that learned to carry things: costume jewelry in structure, minaudière in function, with a fruit-stand pun running underneath. The red-and-green palette gives it away from across a room, while the shallow body keeps it from becoming a novelty box. It suits black tie better than it suits a picnic. One size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Judith Leiber","offers":[{"title":"Red","offer_id":43231774834776,"sku":"VN-2509-2536","price":1600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/1104\/5464\/files\/Photoroom_000_20250924_160452.png?v=1758722872"}],"url":"https:\/\/shopthevaultnyc.com\/collections\/judith-leiber.oembed","provider":"The Vault NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
