Jewellery in the form of small bouquets of flowers, so-called "giardinetto" jewellery (from the Italian for "little gardens") first appeared in the mid-18th century. They featured blossoms of colourful gemstones and diamonds as ornamental arrangements tied into a bouquet or set in a basket, vase or pot. At the beginning of the 20th century, in Art Deco, the motif experienced a true renaissance. But even later, jewellery designers occasionally fell back on this type, as the brooch here shows. The work presents a large chrysanthemum, cut by hand from rose-coloured precious coral. Its leaves are sculptural and individual, each having its own shape. A small diamond sparkles in the center. More brilliant cut diamonds adorn the flowerpot in two contrasting bands, carved from onyx and set in white gold. The elegant monochrome and clear design language of the flower pot provide a calm counterpoint to the naturalistically modeled flower. The brooch is in very good condition. A beautiful conversation piece inspired by over two centuries of jewellery history.
