Two large amethysts give this brooch its warm color palette. Set in simple gold bezels, their oval shapes—which differ slightly in size—face each other. The soft violet hue is reminiscent of lavender and creates a charming contrast to the light silver of the centerpiece. Here, in the center, a Rococo-style ornament unfolds: volutes and rocailles echo the fluid lines of the 18th century. They seem to circle between the amethysts while simultaneously keeping the clean, elongated composition in motion. In this way, the brooch combines the serene effect of the large stones with the playful elegance of the ornament. The very slight variation in the size of the amethysts and the unusual combination with the silver centerpiece lead us to believe that the brooch was assembled from antique elements that originally belonged to different pieces of jewellery. Perhaps the amethysts were part of a late 19th-century bracelet, while the Rococo silver ornament may have been created as late as the early 20th century. They were likely assembled into this brooch in the 1920s or 1930s—when bar brooches were in fashion. This lovely piece of jewellery found its way to us from Munich.
