Edwardian 15ct Gold & Platinum, Great January Comet Pendant of 1910, set with Natural Pearls & Diamonds

600T
Rare Find
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very pretty pendant of a comet that was made around 1910. It is gold with a front and has been set with graduated pearls and small diamonds. The Great January Comet of 1910 was often referred to as the Daylight Comet. It was already visible to the naked eye when it was first noticed, and many people independently “discovered” the comet. At its brightest, it outshone the planet Venus, and was possibly the brightest comet of the 20th century. These intricate small pendants are rare and significant historical pieces as well as being very decorative to wear.
