A breathtaking sight is offered by this elegant brooch, whose sparkle takes us to the years around 1930. The years between the wars, the Art Deco years, were an exciting time. People in Europe and the United States were confronted with numerous drastic innovations: Electric light became fully established, film created its stars and starlets who were admired across national borders. The automobile took possession of the city and architecture grew skyward all at once. While on the social and political level the tensions became stronger and stronger and pushed up from the depths, the surface in film, magazines and on the boulevards of the capitals still shone in a glittering, seductive way. When at night the movie palaces, the department stores and restaurants were brightly illuminated, the headlights of the cars brought speed and movement into the cities - then one could imagine oneself in a new, better and modern world. The clearly structured brooch dates to this time and shines in the composition of luxurious platinum and a multitude of white diamonds, typical for the Art Deco period. The piece of jewellery presents itself as a transverse stepped rectangle, a classic jewel shape of the era. Its elegantly openworked surface presents a total of 81 diamonds of different cuts with a total weight of 4.41 carats. Particularly beautiful is the use of the then-novel rectangular diamonds, the so-called "baguettes" in the center of the brooch, which beautifully refract the light and emphasize the brooch's crystalline sense of form with their graphic shape. A special, indeed wonderful piece of wearable jewellery history, which found its way to us here in Berlin. The brooch is in best condition and radiates a dreamlike sparkle. We have had the quality of the materials confirmed with an independent appraisal, which is included with the purchase.

The 1920s brought a new style to the world of jewellery with Art Deco: Geometric abstractions, luxurious materials and the most luxurious fittings were sought after and supplied by goldsmiths in Paris, London and Vienna as well as by their colleagues in Berlin and overseas. One particular type of jewellery was particularly popular: so-called "white jewels" combined white diamonds, platinum or white gold to create a crystalline, cool and particularly elegant impression; supernaturally seductive, a little worldly and thus particularly luxurious.
