We discovered this brooch in Düsseldorf. It is made of gold and set with a diamond in the old European Cut and three drop shaped intense blue sapphires. The sapphires form a flower in the color of fidelity. The diamond as the gemstone of eternity forms the starting point of the golden tendrils, the cornerstone of the design. The two tendrils, which start from the same center, swing in beautiful symmetry. The shape of the brooch thus makes a romantic statement: built on an eternal foundation, the flower of fidelity blossoms here. In fact, a dedication engraving on the back further describes this faithful bond! We read two dates there, April 1, 1889 and the same day 15 years later, in 1904. Apparently, the brooch was once a gift for a 15th anniversary. Perhaps an anniversary of meeting or marriage? The knot motif has a long tradition in cultural history. Even the Celts regarded an elaborate knot as a symbol of the bond between two people. But even in Victorian times, this tradition was maintained, albeit in a modified form: A wide variety of knot motifs were dubbed "lover's knots", adding a subtle symbolic layer to all kinds of jewelry.
