In the years of the Belle Époque, in the late 19th century and up until the beginning of the First World War, the lives of wealthy citizens and aristocrats followed strictly defined patterns. For example, they had to adorn themselves appropriately for every occasion and every age - and woe betide anyone who made a faux pas! A young lady often only received her first white diamond jewellery at her wedding, but she was still required to appear at the wedding ceremony without it. Soon, however, she would be representing her family on festive occasions: at gala dinners, evening receptions or even lavish balls. Here, her diamond jewellery could shine on heavy silks and luxurious velvets. This brooch is just such a piece of jewellery for the evening. The silky, shimmering natural pearls and sparkling diamonds were perfectly accentuated in the new electric light. They are set in silver, while the back of this fine piece of jewellery is made of gold. The shape of the brooch is a single Art Nouveau curve, almost as if drawn with a pen stroke. It is of such detailed, fine craftsmanship that it is unparalleled in any previous era. The centerpiece is a cloverleaf of three natural pearls. 33 rose cut diamonds set the surface, with the largest diamond pendant. The brooch is a wearable piece of jewelry history. It was created in the early years of the 20th century and came to us here in Berlin.
