The motif of the bow runs through the last centuries of jewelry design. Once a favorite of the lively Rococo era, bow shapes also experienced various fashions in the following eras. Art Deco is no exception, which is actually associated with angular, geometric designs, but this is exactly how the playful bow motif was stylized in the 1920s. This brooch is a particularly appealing representative of this type of jewelry and impresses with its precious materials, excellent workmanship and elegant shape. Its curved surface is entirely set with fifty-four old and octagonal-cut diamonds. A flower motif glitters in the center and holds the stylized bands together. Fine shadow gaps and tiny milgrains dissolve the shape into a play of white light reflections. This makes the brooch appear ethereal and airy, almost like a double shooting star. The brooch was created in the late 1920s and was typically made in platinum with a gold pin. In earlier times, the piece was rhodium-plated once so that it now appears uniformly white. It comes from Vienna, as evidenced by its hallmarks. With its delicate format, it is a wonderful piece of jewellery that looks just as good on a lapel as it does on the neckline of a dress or as an accent on a waist belt.
