Of all types of jewellery, the brooch is probably the piece of jewellery that gives the designer the greatest freedom. Hardly any consideration needs to be given to wearability here, unlike with a ring, for example. There are no limits to shape, size and color. So it is no wonder that so many great jewelry designers such as René Lalique and Jean Schlumberger have become famous for their brooches. Here is an extremely elegant example that takes us right into the middle of the upheaval years of the still young 20th century. We see a pinned and curved brooch made of gold, the front of which is covered with platinum. The piece of jewellery is set with a total of 23 fine diamonds, which are accompanied by small shadow gaps and millegriffes. It is a fine piece of work that focuses on the monochrome of the different shades of white of the materials and at the same time reveals a romantic, playful note through its figurative form. Three beautiful old-cut diamonds form the radiant centerpiece of the pin. The Austrian hallmark with the bear's head, which was only used between 1922 and 1925, allows us to date the brooch very precisely and locate it in Vienna. The diamonds set here were probably taken from an older piece of jewellery, as they show very beautiful, individual old cuts, as were common in the 19th century. The brooch is a fine addition to any wardrobe; we liked the design and execution of it very much when we found it here in Berlin.
