The years around 1900 brought a new style to the world of jewellery, the garland style, which function as a classic and refined counterpoint to the more artistic and bohemian Art Nouveau. Borrowings from the forms of Louis Quinze and fine motifs from classical antiquity enlivened a neoclassicism that valued small, delicate laurel tendrils as much as meticulous festoons and embellishments with tiny millegrains. The delicate elegance of this style enchants us in an exemplary way in this brooch. The work shows a delicate, airy design: delicate laurel branches, their surface lavishly set with sparkling old- and rose-cut diamonds, fill a cartouche of platinum bars. This precious metal, the most expensive at the time, accentuates the white light of the diamonds particularly beautifully. In the center of the composition and as a movable suspension, genuine natural pearls add their melting shimmer. The brooch is finely crafted and in excellent condition. It was created shortly after 1900 and is reminiscent of sumptuous dresses, richly decorated salons and lavish parties.
