The brooch here offers a glimpse into a precious magic garden: Vigorous leaves grow in competition with twisting tendrils, leaf and tendril work shine in a golden light, as if on a warm summer evening. A natural, precious tourmaline from Brazil, cut in a rectangular shape, forms the center of the brooch. It inspires with its deep green and so completely fits the theme of the work, the magic of nature. The work, forged by hand in the years around 1930, lives from the contrast of the clear, angular outer form and its exuberant, almost wildly proliferating decoration. Thus it is at once a glimpse into the richness of nature and yet an artistic artifact. The geometric stylization and love of bizarre, abstracted natural forms is a typical feature of German Art Deco of the years around 1930. Similar tendencies can be found not only in jewellery, but also in contemporary architecture and fashion. Compare, for example, the grilles and decorative paintings of the Renaissance Theater in Berlin, rebuilt in 1926-1928, or the Grassi Museum in Leipzig with its furnishings from 1926/27. Here, similar formal principles were implemented in each case. Not only the quality of the materials, but also the perfect craftsmanship of the piece of jewelry is convincing all along the line. The brooch came to us from Westphalia and is delivered with a certificate of the German Society for Gemstone Evaluation, which confirms the quality of its materials.
