As an added bonus, this lovely brooch is presented in it’s original fitted turtle-shaped burgundy velvet lined box marked "Widdowson & Veale Goldsmiths & Jewellers, The Court of Spain 73 Strand, London" (partly illegible). They were at the Strand address from about
1830-1850. Widdowson & Veale was a well-known jewelry company who also did sterling serving pieces, novelties, weapons and flatware.

GEORGIAN Halley’s comet brooch, rose cut diamonds set in 15 karat gold, in vintage box, 1-1/8". Each time it was to be seen in the heavens, a surge of comet jewelry became popular again, worn to commemorate the excitement of it’s sighting. It was seen, among other years, on November 16, 1835 and this pin dates to that sighting. Mark Twain was born shortly thereafter, and coincidentally passed away at it’s next sighting in 1910. It is one of the most beautifully made comet pins I have ever seen, a tiny treasure to illustrate a glowing event.

| GEORGIAN English oval brooch with diamonds and pearls set in a starburst on royal blue Guilloche enamel surrounded by a band of white enamel, presented in it’s own fitted box. The back of this pin looks like rose gold and the front yellow gold, and sometime in the past, the front was soldered to the back. There are natural pearls and both mine and rose cut diamonds, total weight about .2 carats. The center diamond is about a .06 ct mine cut diamond. In the lid of the box it says, "Watherston 42 Old Bond Street W" (London, England), and while this box fits this brooch exactly and seems to have been made for it, you can never tell positively if they originally came together.
