SOLD Antique 14K, Garnet & Pearl Halley's Comet Brooch hallmark and the Etruscan Revival styleIn 1705, the English astronomer Edmond Halley published a new theory: three comets seen in 1531, 1607, and 1682 were actually the same object. He estimated that it was seen from the earth every 75 76 years, and predicted that it would return in 1758 or 1759. Although he died in 1742, the comet appeared on Christmas night of 1758, right on schedule. Scientists now think that Halleys Comet has been around for 200,000 years! Ancient accounts and artworks
