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 brooch is part of a long tradition that has its roots in the 19th century and continues to the present day. Stars were already popular jewelry motifs in the 19th century: on the one hand, they reflected a fascination with the Orient and, on the other, they owed their popularity to the Austrian Empress Elisabeth. Sisi introduced the famous diamond stars to Viennese society, immortalized by the iconic portrait by Franz Xaver Winterhalter, which shows her with a multitude of sparkling stars in her hair. Star motifs have been an integral part of jewellery history ever since. This piece is a modern variation on this classic theme. The star is made of yellow gold and is set with delicate pearls. At its center rests a mysteriously shimmering moonstone, whose soft glow beautifully emphasizes the nocturnal character of the motif. The brooch was created in England, as the hallmarks on the back show. We date it to the 1980s.
