The most beautiful treasures of the sea and the earth come together here to form a jewel: natural Oriental pearls from the depths of the sea glow softly alongside sparkling diamond roses, high-karat gold, and platinum. And yet it is not the purely material aspects that are the true value and essence of this jewel—it is its design, which, even at the time of its creation around 1900, signalled both a fashionable taste and a refined sensibility for exquisite craftsmanship. The entire piece of jewellery is a play of lines. It is the lines of Art Nouveau—organic yet imaginative—that ebb and flow here. The elegance of the lines takes the place of heavy diamond opulence. Some are crafted in platinum on a gold base, set with understated yet strikingly shimmering diamond roses. They contrast with the warm luster of the gold, with its naturalistic texture, which forms the leaves and blossom of a pansy. At the same time, the brooch has a symbolic component: the pansy is considered the flower of remembrance. The English name “pansy” is derived from the French “(herbe de la) pensée,” meaning “plant of remembrance.” The Italian name is similar as well; there, it is called “viola del pensiero”. This finely crafted, high-quality brooch is in very good condition. It has two eyelets on the back, into which a chain could be hooked to allow it to be worn in two ways as a pendant brooch.
