Did you know that Queen Elizabeth II of England often wore a brooch in the shape of a flower basket during important family events—especially on the occasion of the birth of new family members? The Queen often used her pieces of jewellery to convey meaning. The flower basket brooch in the colours of the United Kingdom symbolized the growth and prosperity of the House of Windsor. Brooches featuring brightly coloured flowers—whether as a bouquet or a densely filled flower basket—appear throughout many eras of jewelry history. Flowers are particularly well-suited to being recreated from colored gemstones, allowing them to bloom for eternity. The example shown here dates from the Art Deco era. An elegant little basket made of platinum is richly filled with flowers. The blossoms are crafted from gemstones: two sapphire blossoms, one ruby, and one emerald sit alongside citrine and amethyst blossoms, green agate leaves, and other small buds. The basket itself, as well as the remaining leaves, are set with diamonds; two strips of black onyx frame the basket at the top and bottom. The brooch shines with a bright, cool radiance from its gemstones. It is finely and delicately crafted down to the last detail, and despite the variety of colours, its designer has managed to give it a compact and powerful form through its closed outline. It bears no hallmarks. Based on its design language, we assume it was created in the 1920s.
