In many ways, late Art Deco jewellery returned more to the history of art than the early, cool and modernist design language of the 1920s. From 1930 onwards, jewelry gradually became more colorful again with the new decade. A lot of jewellery in yellow gold emerged, and here and there the zeitgeist even mixed in the odd reminiscence of bygone eras. This brooch is such a case: clearly inspired by pieces of jewelry from older times, the brooch cleverly combines past and present: its elongated, rectangular shape is entirely in keeping with the taste of its time of origin. However, its finely sawn leaf ornamentation pays homage to the Baroque era with its lavish leaf ornamentation. At its center, the brooch presents three step-cut citrines. The gemstones have a fine, orange-red color reminiscent of Madeira wine. Two small diamond roses add glittering white dots of light in platinum settings.
