Elegant Art Deco Bow Brooch With Sapphires, Diamonds & Pearl, ca. 1925

Description

The motif of the bow runs through the last centuries of jewellery design. Once a favorite of the fun-loving Rococo era, bow shapes also experienced various fashions in subsequent eras. Art Deco, which is actually associated with angular, geometric designs, is no exception - but this is exactly how the actually playful bow motif was stylized in the 1920s. This bow combines these supposed opposites. It is designed slender, streamlined and geometrically elongated, with a natural pearl with a silvery, slightly lavender luster forming the knot. Diamonds and dark blue sapphires replicate the ends of the loop. Their design shows a particularly effective, but also infinitely laborious technique of equipping jewellery with coloured gemstones: The use of calibrated stones. In this process, channel settings are filled with faceted gemstones, in this case sapphires, so close together that the impression is created that the stones are floating between their confines of metal. The infinitely precise workmanship and attention to detail do not end there, however, but are continued on the sides and even underneath. Thus, the brooch bears a delicate tendril pattern on the side, which is visible on the gold beneath the platinum top typical of the period. Even on the backside, the setting of the pearl is engraved. We were able to discover the fine brooch in Weserland. Where will its journey take it next?
