The dynamic forms of Art Nouveau began their triumphal march around the world from France in the years before 1900. The new style was adopted in all European countries and always modified in its own way. In Germany, a penchant for geometry was cultivated, in Spain for fantastic forms, and in Great Britain a fashion all of its own developed. Especially in the field of jewellery, a series of easily recognizable designs emerged, which still impress today with their freshness of form and colour. This graceful brooch came to us from London. The elongated design is made up of delicate gold rods and curves and unfolds into a dynamic and airy composition of leaves and inflorescences. An amethyst drop of intense violet is suspended in the center of the composition. Small natural pearls enliven the design and lend it the typically playful touch that dominated daytime jewellery in the early years of the last century. The brooch is typical of the heyday of the British Empire during the reign of Edward VII. It is made of gold with a fineness of 15 carats. This typically British alloy was only used until 1932.
