The growth and development of plants was one of the most important sources of inspiration for artists at the turn of the century. In their search for a new art form that would bring people, alienated by industrialization and life in the big cities, back into harmony with themselves and nature, they turned to the forms of nature. From their beauty and diversity, they created independent, previously unknown designs. Especially in the field of jewellery, they created numerous unmistakable creations that still fascinate today with their freshness of form and color. This brooch also takes up this idea: Wonderfully luminous pyrope garnets adorn the piece and form floral shapes influenced by Art Nouveau. The stones, cut into roses, follow a sweeping, dynamic line. A small bouquet of a blossom and delicate leaves unfolds in the center, continuing in lively curves. The sparkle of the garnets and their deep red glowing fire captivate the eye again and again. The setting and mounting of the brooch are made of tombac, typical of the period. The sweeping asymmetry and floral ornamentation clearly reveal the characteristic design language of the c. 1900s.
