Based on our beloved, first Halley’s Comet design, this features an Onyx and Spinel comet in forward and reverse, moving in the cosmos like a hummingbird - one of the smallest birds, weighing about the weight of a penny.

Often there is this intense feeling of smallness in the world, the smallness of the hummingbird in comparison to the cosmos. To be alive feels strange, to live on the edge, to be liminal, to hold these two feelings - that there are comets racing across the night sky ( one is currently visible until February 2nd in certain parts of the world ) while also tiny hummingbirds flit between flowers and we exist briefly - in between this all. A key to these feelings. A key to belonging to the world and all its strangeness. A comet that can look backward, while also moving forward, but to also help you feel present and grounded, now, in your body.

‘Some are born to sweet delight

Some are born to endless night’

-William Blake
