66 sparkling rose-cut diamonds make this brooch from around 1890 a very special sight. Rose-cut diamonds, also known as "rose couronée" or "crowned roses", can already be found in 16th century jewellery; numerous famous diamonds such as the Orloff and the Grand Mogul are designed in this rose cut. It is characterized by the fact that the top of the diamond is faceted in a star shape and the underside is cut flat. This creates a very specific, soft shimmer that is very different from the sometimes garish brilliance of today's diamonds. This delicate and airy piece shows the diamond roses close together on shimmering bars, which almost look like a magnificent sleigh in abstract, slightly floral shapes. It is possible that this is an element from an earlier, larger piece of jewellery in the rococo style of the late 19th century. The brooch dates from a later period and makes the arrangement wearable. We discovered the piece, as it is, in the Münsterland. According to its hallmarks, the pin was probably added to the diamond element in the Netherlands.
