Every great European costume of the 19th century included elaborately designed pieces of jewellery. Passed down from generation to generation, they announced the wealth or piety of the adorned person. A typical characteristic of these pieces of jewellery is their conservative design. Once found, shapes were hardly changed for centuries and retained for reasons of tradition. The present brooch made of lightly gold-plated 800 silver is one such piece of jewellery. The brooch from the 1930s is a variation on a bar brooch, which was one of the most popular types of jewelry at the time. At its center is a large flower made of pearls and violet-pink glass stones. Pearls and other small glass stones also adorn the bar. According to the hallmark, the brooch was exported to Vienna in the years after 1922. The middle flower was made using the sand casting technique. On the back, we see decorative leaf ornaments and masks, which were borrowed from the Baroque style and are typical of jewellery from the years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Monarchy with its nostalgia for the time of Maria Theresa. This design language remained popular in traditional costume jewelry even after the end of the multi-ethnic state.

It proves that historically grown connections between the former crown lands were maintained even after the First World War. This piece of jewellery brings the splendid era of the Danube Monarchy to life.
