This powerful, dynamic composition of diamonds and sapphires looks like a raging winter storm. Overlapping strips of white gold sparkle in the light of white diamonds, with additional structure provided by shadow gaps and millegrains. Midnight blue sapphires are set in frames in between. An old-cut diamond weighing over half a carat sparkles in the center in an unusual, geometric setting. The design of this piece of jewellery is exemplary of the inventiveness and courage of abstraction that characterized Art Deco jewellery. Unusual in its decoration, the design is typical of the years around 1930 in its horizontal alignment and craftsmanship. A special trick in the form of two eyelets attached to the back ensures that the piece can be worn as a pendant, but also keeps the piece from drooping when worn as a brooch. These eyelets were added at a later date. Originally, however, the piece was also intended to be worn as a pendant, as a screw thread shows. However, the associated loop has been lost over time. The pin can also be removed for this original purpose. We were able to discover this unusual piece of jewelry in Hamburg.
