Description
This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!
This brooch presents a radiant aquamarine in a delicate frame of delicate laurel leaves. Diamonds set the leaves and are distributed symmetrically across the frame. The aquamarine is set in a yellow gold frame; the diamonds are set in silver. The back of the brooch is made of gold. The hallmarks on the edge of the brooch and the pin tell us where and when it was made. We see the head of a bird, the kibitz, and the letter "C". Both together mean that the brooch was made in Prague, the Golden City on the Vltava River, between 1921 and 1929. It is rare for the hallmark of a piece of jewelry to indicate the date of its creation so precisely. In the case of this brooch, however, it is particularly fortunate. The design language and workmanship initially suggested a somewhat earlier date. The elegant Garland style with its preference for fine bars and laurel leaves, which the brooch speaks of, was created at the beginning of the 20th century and was particularly widespread before the First World War - and yet was still in demand in the following decade, as this brooch proves.
