"La mode passe, le style reste" - Fashion passes, but style endures. This famous saying comes from fashion designer Yves Saint-Laurent. But doesn't the statement apply even more to jewellery than to fashion, which usually survives the passage of time more intact than even the most beautiful dress made of light silk? The brooch presented here is proof of this. Two golden tubes, laid double, form a stretched oval that reminds of the propeller of an airplane. Its center is occupied by four beautiful old European cut diamonds in carreaus of bright platinum. Two leaf ornaments frame the diamonds above and below. They remind, surprisingly at first, of Biedermeier jewellery. In many ways, jewellery of the late Art Deco revisited the history of art more than the cool and modernist design language of the 1920s did. With the new decade, the jewelry became more voluminous again, a lot of jewelry in yellow gold emerged, and here and there the one or other reminiscence of Biedermeier is mixed in with the abstract, physical retro style. The brooch is a timeless piece with subtle references to the history of jewellery. It was most likely created in Germany. We discovered it in the Rhineland.
