Antique Georgian Halley's Comet Hardstone Cameo 14k Gold Brooch Pin
Tests for 14k gold, natural agate. Why You'll Love It.
Re all brought together by the stars in the night sky. And this Georgian brooch captures a celestial event that bridges generations: the passing of Halley's comet. With its unique hand-carved floral design and detailed 14k gold setting, the whim and wonder of this once-in-a-lifetime event shines through for the next generation to witness. Bright patina with minimal surface wear to the setting. Fresh sheen, light surface wear, and no chipping on the agate.
Symbolism in antique and vintage jewelry is common, yet it can be hard to spot if you don't know what you're looking for. Often, specific natural gemstones, flowers, birds, and motifs like stars and anchors were imbued with meanings that have fallen out of present-day society's collective memory. To appreciate the power of symbols in antique jewelry is to imagine what it would have been like to wear the piece and step back into history. Antique and vintage pieces have been passed through generations, so it's not often you find a piece that has been maintained in its near-original condition.
Such pieces are not only higher in value, but they are also more collectible, as they carry the history of past owners but do not show it. They reveal what the piece would have looked like when it was first created, giving us an insight into a bygone era. _gsrx_vers_1436 GS 9.0.5 (1436).
