Celestial bodies were one of the most popular jewelry motifs in Victorian England. Whether crescent moons, suns or stars, they were all found on the décolletés and blouses of the ladies, set in diamonds for the evening and in gold for the day. Shimmering natural pearls and cabochon-cut turquoise cover the entire surface of this star. Both gemstones were favorites of the Victorian era and were often set in warm yellow gold, as is the case here. This color combination was intended for daytime wear in particular, and even today the star makes us dream of balmy summer nights at any time of year. The star can be worn as a brooch and as a pendant. With the help of a detachable pendant loop, it can be easily transformed in a matter of moments. As early as the 19th century, people were sure that once they had invested in a piece of jewelry, its versatility would pay off. We discovered this piece of jewelry in London.
