Is it a fantastic flower, an elf or a dragonfly that is depicted here in diamonds? This brooch, created around the turn of the century, plays with associations and corresponds to the preference of its time of origin for everything ethereally delicate and fine. Above a diamond-set double leaf, further old-cut and rose-cut diamonds are set, fanned out like a glittering bouquet. They are mounted on so-called knife wires, so that it almost seems as if they were floating freely. They are set in silver on gold. The screw-off brooch mounting is also made of gold. Originally, it could probably be exchanged for a hairpin. The detachable brooch mounting, according to its hallmarks, was made in France before 1919. The brooch itself, however, was imported and, according to its design, was made in Great Britain or Germany. A very similar brooch, set with additional coloured stones, can be found in the catalogue of the Streeter company, then located in Bond Street in London, circa 1899 (see last picture). Design, workmanship and diamond cuts let us date the brooch around 1900.
