Glamorous Art Deco Bar Brooch with 1.19 ct Diamonds, ca. 1930

Description

In the midst of the ever more rapidly changing world of the years after the First World War, the artists and craftsmen of Art Deco sought to find a new formal language that would be appropriate to the new era. They rejected the formal language of Art Nouveau, which seemed to them too sweet, too transfigured, and sought geometric rigor. This alone seemed to them appropriate for the age of automobiles, skyscrapers and express trains. This rod brooch is also committed to this aesthetic, its platinum-covered front rhythmically structured with diamonds and circles, shadow gaps and millegrains. At the center of the design, slightly raised in their settings, are three diamonds. While the central third-carat is shaped in the old cut, the two outer quarter-carat diamonds already feature the more modern transitional cut, the forerunner of our current brilliant cut. Other diamonds in old set cuts accompany them and flash out of the white platinum. Rod brooches like these were worn in many different ways: Gladly, for instance, unlike even in the 1910s, a bit crooked and casual instead of perfectly straight. They were worn on the top button of elegant blouses or shirts inspired by men's fashion, or even on a tie, as a deliberate break with style and an expression of emancipation - unthinkable just a few years earlier. The very well preserved brooch came to us here in Berlin. It was also probably once made in Germany. It comes with an independent gemmological certificate.
