Pieces of jewellery have always been altered, reworked, enhanced, and adapted to the tastes of a new era. Precious stones and artfully crafted fragments were preserved across generations, only to be incorporated into new designs later on. This brooch was created in that same tradition: as an imaginative jewelry collage that combines historical individual pieces into a new, distinctive whole. At its center is a precious jewelry element dating from around 1890. A deep-blue sapphire is surrounded here by four brilliant rubies and an equal number of diamond roses; delicate volutes of reddish gold lend the composition its playful dynamism. Above it, a silver angel spreads its wings protectively. Modern brilliant-cut diamonds in light silver settings carry on the sparkle of the historic diamonds and visually connect the various parts. Below the colored centerpiece, a curved arch set with brilliant-cut diamonds completes the composition. A freely suspended cultured pearl provides a serene, luminous finishing touch. The cool silver of the diamond settings, the warm, slightly reddish gold, and the intense blue and red of the gemstones create a captivating play of colours. The brooch is not a historical piece of jewellery from a single era, but rather a one-of-a-kind creation from the 20th century, crafted from a combination of older and more recent components. This is precisely what gives it its special charm: historical goldsmith work is not merely preserved, but is made wearable again in a new form. This unusual piece came to us from Cologne.
