Stars shining bright above you Night breezes seem to whisper "I love you" Birds singing in the sycamore trees Dream a little dream of me... This star, which can be worn as a pendant or brooch, is a piece of fashion history. Stars set with precious stones, usually pearls or diamonds, were popular pieces of jewelry in the second half of the 19th century. But what made the star so exciting? On the one hand, stars were an expression of the enthusiasm for the Orient at the time, with its preference for exotic and foreign cultures. On the other hand, the enthusiasm for star motifs was due to the Empress of Austria, who introduced the motif of diamond stars to Viennese society and turned them into immortal classics of jewelry history to this day. This piece of jewelry is in keeping with this fashion. The star was created in Great Britain - and thus shows that fashion was already transnational in the 19th century. Apparently, the ladies of London society, just like the ladies of the Vienna Hofburg, succumbed to the ever-renewing reputation of cosmic beauty. We discovered this beautiful piece of jewelry in London.
