Description

The years between the wars, the Art Deco years, were a wild time. People in Europe and the USA were confronted with numerous drastic innovations: Electric light fully took hold, film created its stars and starlets, who were admired across national borders. The automobile took possession of the city and architecture grew skyward all at once. While on the social and political level the tensions became stronger and stronger and pushed up from the depths, the surface in film, magazines and on the boulevards of the capitals - still - shone in a glittering, seductive way: When at night the movie palaces, the department stores and restaurants were brightly illuminated, the headlights of the cars brought speed and movement into the cities - then man and woman could imagine themselves in a new, better and modern world. The brooch, which is present here, shines in the materials of luxurious platinum, green emeralds and white diamonds typical of the Art Deco period. The piece of jewellery presents itself as a bar brooch, a classic jewel form of the era. Its openwork center panel presents two slanted bands of cut emeralds and an old European cut diamond in the center. Two additional rose cut diamonds are also set in the center section and embedded in the platinum. The result is a shimmering play of light reflections. The brooch is a particularly beautiful and at the same time typical piece of jewellery history for its time of origin. It is perfectly preserved and as if animated by an inner fire. We were immediately thrilled when we discovered it here in Berlin.

The 1920s brought a new style to the world of jewellery with Art Deco: geometric abstractions, luxurious materials and the most luxurious furnishings were sought after and supplied by goldsmiths in Paris, London and Vienna as well as their counterparts in Berlin and overseas. One particular type of jewellery was particularly popular: so-called white jewels combined white diamonds, platinum or white gold to create a crystalline, cool and particularly elegant impression; supernaturally seductive, a little worldly and thus particularly luxurious.
