A large coral is staged as a wonderful splash of colour in this brooch. Cut to a bouton, it is set into a concave gold shell, paying homage to the beauty of the sea. Three concentric rings of warmly gleaming yellow gold frame the Sardegna-coral. Cross clasps, centered with diamond roses in white gold, provide the connection to the outside world. The red sea treasure thus floats before our eyes: who has not dreamed of carefree summers in the inviting south? However, the design inspires not only by the beauty of the natural material. The shape of the setting with its expressive dynamics is also interesting. The brooch was created in the years around 1950 and stylistically it is a typical piece of jewellery of the late Art Deco. Known in English as retro jewellery, this style of Art Deco was popular from the late 1930s to the post-war period and is characterized by a preference for shiny yellow gold and sculptural forms. The perfectly crafted brooch is excellently preserved and signed. It was made by a goldsmith W. Kölsch, about whom we unfortunately could not find any further information. But it is sure that it was made in Germany.
