In the last two decades of the 19th century, the purchasing power of the middle classes throughout Europe increased rapidly. At the same time, growing globalization meant that more precious stones were available than ever before. As a result, jewellery was created with one goal in mind: the aesthetic display of particularly beautiful gemstones. Gold and silver took a back seat as design elements and were used almost exclusively for the settings. Where engraved metal surfaces had previously determined the appearance of a piece of jewelry, the large, precious stones themselves now came to the fore. This is also wonderfully demonstrated by this brooch. A sweeping wave of more than two carats of sparkling diamonds in old cuts is set close together. The larger ones are mounted on so-called "knife wires", on which they seem to float like a constellation of stars. The reddish gold is only visible on the front as a warm shimmer. Only at the ends does it form small, lily-shaped elements as decorative finishes. This luxurious brooch, beautiful in every detail, dates back to the literal heyday of jewellery - the Belle Époque, which rightly bears its name. The brooch was imported to Vienna before 1902 and was probably made in Germany.
