Description

A band of diamonds sweeps across a flower like a cool breeze. The band, elegantly curved around the flower, is made of platinum. The flower, the petals and the surrounding tendrils, however, are all crafted from gold, whose naturalistic veining lends depth to the design. Another small diamond adorns the center of the blossom. With its nature-inspired motif, playful asymmetry and acanthus tendrils along the lower edge, this piece of jewellery is typical of the period around 1900, when Neo-Rococo and Art Nouveau were in a state of fluid transition. The flowing lines and stylization of nature were characteristic of both styles. The design and details of the brooch correspond to French works from the turn of the century. Enclosed is a comparative piece from the French design work Le Bijou from February 1899. However, as the brooch is not hallmarked, its origin cannot be clearly determined. It may have been made for export. It is in very good condition and a wonderful, wearable piece of history.
