Chairman's Notes

The nineteenth century saw a huge growth in the popularity of astronomy, with The Royal Astronomical Society formed in 1822, and later the British Astronomical Association in 1890. Many notable events occurred this century, including the reappearance of Halley’s comet in 1835, and the discovery of Neptune in 1846, all which inspired a renewed desire for celestial jewellery.

From the 1860's onward, the star motif also featured prominently in jewellery. Diamonds and gemstones were commonly set in the centre of a star, which would have been carved into the piece by a skilled craftsman. The glinting sparkle of a diamond emulated the twinkling light of the stars, which have long been symbolic of guidance and wisdom.
