The following has worked quite well for me. I hate using a centered "* * *" for a thematic break so I use a fleuron. I write fiction, not math-filled academic-journal articles or textbooks so this may not be applicable in your case.

First, I use one of many available "dingbat" fonts to provide the fleuron. I am partial to the curly-ques in Nymphette (a readily-available free font) but there are many others.

In my preamble I define:

\definefont[FleuronFont] [nymphette sa 1.5]

Then where I want to place a fleuron I can do something like this.

\midaligned{{\MedBlue \FleuronFont g}}

In this case, the text letter 'g' corresponds to the particular little symbol I want.

YMMV
Take a look at the fancybreak module: http://modules.contextgarden.net/dl/t-fancybreak/doc/context/third/fancybreak/fancybreak-doc.pdf
