Description

This brooch is designed as a horizontal bar. A wide band of polished platinum frames a sparkling row of diamonds and small laurel leaves. At the center of the design is a large old-cut diamond. The diamond weighs 1.25 ct and shimmers with a warm, slightly reddish-brown hue. It is a natural, untreated stone. An independent appraisal has classified its colour as reddish-brown (Fancy Light Pinkish Brown). The front is entirely set with platinum. The back, however, is made of gold. This was a common practice at the time, as platinum was so exceptionally rare and precious that it was almost never used for entire pieces of jewellery at the beginning of the 20th century. The brooch comes with an independent appraisal from Idar-Oberstein. We discovered it here in Berlin.

Sparkling diamonds, gleaming gold, and lustrous platinum are the stuff of jewelry dreams. This brooch captivates with the harmonious interplay of these luxurious materials. It was crafted in one of Europe’s major cities in the early years of the 20th century and found its way to us in Bremen. The era of its creation was the Belle Époque, a carefree time, a celebration of the beauty of life. Fashions and balls in the major cities across Europe were very similar—one last time before the terrible wars. People looked forward to the future, and luxury and a zest for life were to be the guiding principles of that future. During this period, people loved sparkling jewellery made of high-quality materials that shone in a bright white. The designs were mostly classic, understated, and elegant: no extremes, no experiments. A cosmopolitan classicism united tastes across all the major cities of the continent.
