The brooch before us is a mariage, an amalgamation of various pieces of jewellery of the 19th century. We can see two large knots, which are made of laid and twisted wires. The center of both knots is a star, whose points are enameled and in the center of each sparkles a diamond in a simple rose cut. The two knots are connected by delicate tendrils. Suspended from the structure are two other knot shapes as well as chains and two movable pendulums in the style of Biedermeier. The two large knots were probably once earrings, as suggested by the two soldered joints and bars on the reverse side. Like the movable pendulums, they were probably made around 1840. Around 1870, the present brooch was made from the earrings. For this purpose, a pin was added, as well as the delicate tendrils and the two small knots. The brooch, which found its way to us in Minden, was gladly worn and restored. It has survived as a wearable collectible from the late Biedermeier period, with elements of Queen Victoria's reign.
