The new style, which conquered the world from France in the years around 1900, wanted to wrap the whole life in beauty. The artists of this new art, Art Nouveau or Jugendstil, as it was called in Germany, saw themselves as avant-garde and devoted themselves to even the smallest detail of everyday life. For it was not only architecture that was to emerge anew and finally find a contemporary answer to the changed modern life. The forms of drawing, painting, decoration, clothes, furniture, everyday objects and - of course - jewellery were also rethought and redesigned. A beautiful testimony of this new fashion is the brooch presented here, which was created in the early years of the still young 20th century. It is made of 14-karat gold, which shines wonderfully richly thanks to an additional fine gilding. An old European cut diamond of about half a carat and a qualtity emerald set sparkling highlights in white and green. The brooch presents itself as a slightly elongated, curved shape from which the gemstones develop like fruit. The continuous dynamic moving band of lines is reminiscent of flying whips, a motif that led contemporaries to refer to the style as the "coup-de-fouet" style, the style "with the lash of a whip". The brooch is delicate yet very well preserved. It found its way to us from Hamburg.

Brooches until not so long ago belonged to the indispensable pieces of jewelry. No lady would have left the house around 1950 without a brooch, because without a brooch clothing was not complete. How and where the brooch was worn on the clothes changed following the respective fashions. In the years around 1900 was popular the so-called "collar brooch", which were worn about the height of the top button on high closed garments frontally on the blouse. Such a collar brooch from the heyday of Art Nouveau of the years around 1900 is the present specimen.
