Elegant Belle Époque Brooch With Old Cut Diamonds, Circa 1910

Description

The bar brooch was one of the most popular pieces of jewellery of the Belle Époque and could be found in every lady's jewellery wardrobe. From daytime pieces in gold and set with pearls or colourful gemstones to high-quality diamond pins for the evening - the bar brooch took many forms. The present example is a particularly beautiful variation on the theme, with the design interpreting the typical shape of such a brooch as a rhythmic interplay of lines. The stylized bow ornament is influenced by the formal language of Art Nouveau. However, the design is more classical and thus typical of the Belle Epoque jewellery that shunned the overly showy connotations of Art Nouveau. Five old European cut diamonds totaling around 0.74 ct are arranged diagonally in the middle of the dynamic lines and are held by the most delicate platinum frames, making it appear as if they are floating above the fine knife-edge bars. Further diamonds are set as points of light on the surface lines, resulting in a total of around 1.20 ct of diamonds on the brooch. In keeping with the fashion of its time, it shines in pure white, which is achieved by the diamond setting and a platinum overlay on the actual golden piece of jewellery. According to its hallmark, the brooch was most likely made in Germany. A short time later, it was exported to the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy. This beautifully preserved piece of jewellery comes in an antique case from the Lörrach jeweler Johanna Nusser.
