A catalog published by the British jewellery company Saunders & Shepherd Ltd. in 1903/04 describes jewellery in the latest forms as "New Art Jewellery". Plant motifs in enameled gold make stylistic reference to Art Nouveau - the new art that is also referenced in the name. Naturalistic enamelled flowers and plants in slightly asymmetrical compositions characterize that specifically British form of Art Nouveau, which this brooch also demonstrates. The design presents a delicate blossom in a curved golden frame. The petals are enameled in a delicate color gradient from green to rosé, with a red garnet shining in the center. Shimmering pearls adorn the leaf of the small plant and a baroque freshwater pearl is suspended from the design. The warm reddish gold tone complements the piece of jewelry perfectly. The brooch is made of 9 ct gold. For further examples of "New Art Jewellery", see the reproduction of the above-mentioned catalog in Peter Hinks (ed.): Viktorianischer Schmuck, Hildesheim/Zurich/New York 1996, p. 170f.
