Elegant Déco Brooch with Diamonds in Platinum on Gold, after 1936

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

Platinum jewelry set with dazzling white diamonds was the great passion of the Art Deco era. Every lady who could afford it often not only wore such treasures individually, but also combined several of them - around the neck, on the finger and on the wrist - to create radiant arrangements of pure luxury. This is how we know the Hollywood stars of those years in old black-and-white photographs that still shape our image of the femme fatale of the time today. This piece of jewelry from the mid 1930s is a typical representative of this elegant jewelry fashion. The brooch appears as an elongated shield and thus varies the most popular form that this type of jewelry took on in Art Deco. Its surface is decorated with elegant saw-cut arabesques and sparkling millegrain beads that look like glittering diamond roses. A beautiful old-cut diamond shines in the center of the composition, which is visually enlarged by surrounding shadow gaps. The combination of metals is also typical of the time, as a fine layer of platinum has been applied to the front of the yellow gold base metal. This procedure is often found in jewelry from the early 20th century, as platinum was much more expensive than gold at the time. It bears a German mark introduced in 1936. It found its way to us from East Westphalia. Where will its journey take it next?

The brooch bears the so-called "Laurin" mark, the letters "Ln" in ligature. This mark was introduced in the 1930s and guaranteed a certain minimum quality of craftsmanship and material as a mark of quality. It is named after the legendary dwarf king Laurin from the Rosengarten in the Dolomites, who was regularly used in advertising of the time to promote Laurin jewelry: "From the shaft of the magic mountains / Laurin, the lord of the dwarves / Mines precious stones and jewels / For our adornment and feast for the eyes." See also our collection of some ' illustrations of the Laurin mark.
