The growth and development of plants was one of the most important sources of inspiration for Art Nouveau artists. Just as the first blossoms of spring herald the new year and the restart of life after the dark winter, Art Nouveau in the evening years of the 19th century also wanted to venture a new beginning in the field of art and life as a whole. New forms in architecture, painting and the decorative arts were intended to give people more freedom and also more happiness by aesthetically transforming life. This brooch stems from this movement and is designed as an abstract floral composition. A sparkling plant unfolds in the center of the design, with diamond leaves and fruits made of shimmering pearls. The stems of the flowers consist of delicate platinum bars. These webs, which are wafer-thin in places when viewed from the front but retain their stability in depth, are also known as "knife wires". They are a typical design feature in the jewellery of the time and allowed for visually more delicate, lighter designs than ever before. A band, also made of platinum and diamonds, is placed around the plant. It appears to have been created by chance with a breath of wind, moving and light. It surrounds the three pearls and protects them from the outside. At the same time, the shape itself is reminiscent of a leaf, a shamrock perhaps. Below it, a larger old European cut diamond is suspended. Overall, the light and airy brooch combines around two carats of fine diamonds in platinum. The back of the brooch is made of high-carat gold. It does not bear a hallmark. However, we assume that it was made in Germany. With its design and workmanship, it fits in with the jewellery style of the years shortly after 1900. The brooch is in very good condition. We discovered it in Stuttgart.
