The new style, which spread from France to conquer the world c. 1900, sought to envelop all of life in beauty. The artists of this new movement—Art Nouveau, or Jugendstil as it was called in Germany—saw themselves as the avant-garde and devoted themselves to even the smallest details of everyday life. For it was not only architecture that was to be reinvented and finally find a contemporary response to the changing realities of modern life. The forms of drawing, painting, decoration, clothing, furniture, everyday objects, and—of course—jewellery were also reimagined and redesigned. This brooch is a beautiful example of this new style. It is crafted from 14-karat rose gold. Thirty delicate old-cut diamonds totaling approximately 1.40 carats, along with a high-quality Colombian emerald in a wonderful colour, create sparkling highlights in white and green. The brooch features a slightly elongated, curved shape from which the gemstones emerge like blossoms from lance-shaped foliage. The continuous, dynamically flowing leaves are reminiscent of flying whips—a motif that led contemporaries to refer to the style as “Coup-de-Fouet,” or the “whiplash” style. The brooch is in very good condition. It came to us from Stuttgart.
