Brooches until not so long ago belonged to the indispensable pieces of jewellery. No lady would have left the house around 1950 without a brooch, because without a brooch clothing was not complete. How and where the brooch was worn on the clothes changed following the respective fashions. In the years around 1900 was popular the so-called "collar brooch", which were worn about the height of the top button on high closed garments frontally on the blouse. Such a collar brooch is the present specimen. The brooch was probably made in Germany in the years around 1900. According to the hallmark, it was subsequently exported to Austria-Hungary. The piece is designed as an elegant almond shape with net-like openwork surface and graphic features. The surface of the brooch shines in a rich gold tone due to additional fire gilding and shows a red ruby and a natural pearl as a setting. A time-typical and beautiful piece of jewellery from the years around 1900.

The years around 1900: luxury and pure joie de vivre had been elevated to the ideal of the first decades of the 20th century: The new forms of Art Nouveau enriched art and the decorative arts with decorative forms never seen before. Centers quickly emerged in Europe during these years, each taking a different approach to the expression of the new style. While in France the School of Nancy led the way and floral motifs were transformed into spectacular new art forms, in Vienna the Wiener Werkstätte emerged with a stricter conception of ornamentation and created total works of art that were to influence almost every area of human life.
