The forms of jewellery and the forms of fashion are closely linked in their development. Earrings follow the shape of the hairstyle. And the long, free-swinging necklace of Art Deco was only possible in combination with the flowing dresses of the era. This brooch is also a child of a certain fashion. Towards the end of the 19th century, high, close-fitting collars became fashionable, often with lace. These competed with necklaces and pendants, but there was still room for brooches! A new type of brooch responded to this new opportunity: the collar brooch, usually of a rather small size, which was worn on the front of the neck. The present piece is a collar brooch of the kind that adorned a lady's high-cut evening dress in the early years of the 20th century - suitable for a reception or other social gathering, for example. The brooch is made of gold and covered with a layer of bright platinum. Its shape is a pointed oval formed from intertwined lines. The brooch itself is dynamic and reminiscent of leafy tendrils, a motif typical of Art Nouveau. A fiery red ruby shines in the center, accompanied by white diamonds in historic cuts. The brooch is delicate and yet very well preserved. We discovered it in Nuremberg.
