Forging is one of the goldsmithing techniques that our ancestors mastered thousands of years ago. This involves shaping sheet metal made of gold, silver or other metal with a hammer - this is known as forging. The result is sculptural reliefs that are carved out of the solid material using force alone. We see such a brooch here: The transverse oval piece of jewelry is made of high-carat gold and features a mirror-symmetrical design reminiscent of a large flower shape. Under a magnifying glass, we can see small hammer strokes, so-called martellations, which were used to shape the gold. We can therefore be sure that this golden object is unique, handcrafted using an old goldsmithing technique that has become rare today. We found this beautiful brooch from the late 1970s here in Berlin.
