Georgian Halleys Comet Pin with Mine Cut Paste in 10K Yellow Gold

Charming and rare early 19th-century Halley’s Comet brooch featuring two sparkling old mine-cut paste gemstones. This antique pin captures the romantic fascination with astronomy sparked by the return of Halley’s Comet in 1835. The design echoes a blazing comet streaking through the sky, with a decorative “tail” and radiating old cut glass center stone—an iconic motif of Georgian and early Victorian sentimental jewelry. This highly collectable little pin will be at home in any antique jewelry collection.
