This little brooch is a piece of jewelry that we immediately took to our hearts. The design, as funny as it is cute, shows three colorful parrots perched on a branch, seemingly having an amused chat. A ruby, emerald and sapphire cabochon each occupied their bodies. Bird motifs are often found in Victorian jewellery of the late 19th century. In the symbol-loving era, each type of feathered companion had very different meanings: Swallows, for example, also known as "lovebirds" in the English-speaking world, were considered messengers of love and are often found as motifs in sentimental jewelry. Since the Art Deco era, more exotic species such as birds of paradise have also found their way into the jewelry world. The flamingo brooch that Cartier designed for Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, in 1940 became famous. The brooch is made of high-carat gold. Small rubies form the eyes with which the peacocks gaze out into the world. Together with small diamonds they give the brooch, made around 1980, a rich appearance. The high quality fittings make this little bird brooch a very special "conversation piece". The piece was probably made in Germany, as the gold stamp suggests, found its way to us from Hamburg.
