Description

The growth and development of plants and the associated beauty of nature was one of the most important sources of inspiration for the artists of the early 20th century: in their search for the forms of a new art that would bring people, uprooted by industrialization and the big cities, back into harmony with themselves and their environment, they turned to nature and created their very own, previously unseen designs from it. This is a magnificent flower basket made of platinum with yellow gold accents. Under its large handle with a bow, we see wonderfully sparkling blossoms made from precious, genuine gemstones. Festive white, with splashes of color, the flowers lie exuberantly before our eyes. Sapphires, rubies and emeralds as well as genuine natural pearls form the blossoms of the stylized plants. A total of 113 cut gemstones are combined here to create an arrangement that never wilts and has lost none of its radiance to this day. A total of 99 rose-cut diamonds alone cover every conceivable point of the finely open-worked surface. The magnificent abundance of the floral bouquet is subject to an elegant asymmetry. Its color palette is reduced to blue, red, green and white, almost abstract in its unusual beauty. This means that the brooch can be worn with a variety of dresses. What's more, its size is not too obtrusive. And best of all: the brooch can be unscrewed - so it can also be worn as a pendant! The piece of jewelry was probably made in England around 1915. It is in first-class condition and made from only the best materials. A wonderful example of the elegant jewelry fashion of the beginning of the century.

Did you know that Elizabeth II of England wore a brooch in the shape of a basket of flowers whenever a new member of the family was born? Just as all of the Queen's jewelry has a specific meaning and is used and worn as legible symbols, her flower basket brooch in the colors of Great Britain is symbolic of the growth and prosperity of the House of Windsor.
