Description

Jewellery of the 1980s fascinates to this day, as an often beautiful, and always impressive testimony of a time of optimism and abundance: The oil crisis seemed to be over, Wall Street flourished, and a new image of the woman emerged: self-confident and tough, asserting herself at work, against men, successful, with broad shoulder pads and high heels, she adorned herself with rings, necklaces and brooches in hitherto unusual dimensions, with reflective surfaces of yellow gold and rich trimmings of colored gemstones. A lot of costume jewellery was created, because executed in real materials the jewellery would have been unaffordable for most women, so large and heavy they should appear. But real jewellery was also produced in large numbers in the USA and Europe, of course, and broke new ground, reflecting the fashions of the time. A fine representative of 1980s jewellery is this brooch: set in gold, we see four red rubies and as many blue sapphires accompanied by a white diamond. Starting with a natural ruby in an oval facet cut, the brooch is formed as a sparkling colourful bar, as rubies and sapphires are strung alternately. Then, in the center, the brilliant mediates to the moveable suspended sapphire drop, which adds beautiful movement as the largest stone in the arrangement. The piece of jewellery formerly belonged to a Hamburg shipowner and convinces with exquisite gemstones.
