About this piece
Appearing every 72-80 years, Halley's Comet is one of the only known comets that, at times, appears close enough to Earth to be seen with the naked eye. For imaginative Victorian jewelers, such celestial occurrences were an inspiration for jewelry motifs. This exquisite brooch might very well be a fanciful depiction of the comet—a diamond-centered star with a natural pearl and ruby-accented tail—shooting past a diamond-set crescent moon, often representing the romantic Victorians' fascination with Earth's luminous satellite. A delightful dash of cosmic ornament for your ensemble. Total diamond weight - .45 carat, total ruby weight - .30 carat. Hand fabricated in silver over 12K gold.
