Elegant Vintage Brooch With Sapphires & Diamonds In White Gold, Circa 1965

Description

This description was automatically translated from German. If you have any questions about this piece of jewellery, we will be happy to help!

The optimistic spirit of the sixties exudes the present exquisite brooch made of white gold with a fine gemstone set in the typical design language of the decade. At the middle of the decade in the field of jewellery design were still popular designs reminiscent of brooches of Art Deco. Thus, here we see a depressed oval whose short sides are accented by two blue sapphires. 26 diamonds occupy the narrow frame of high-carat white gold, which thus sparkles without interruption. The special feature of this design is that the color of the fabric on which the jewelry is worn becomes visible in the center. The interplay of quality sapphires, diamonds and white gold has created a piece of jewellery that is elegant without being obtrusive. The brooch came to us from the Rhineland.

Berlin experienced a rapid boom in the 19th century. Due to immigration, the population increased tenfold during this period, reaching almost 1.9 million by 1900. Entrepreneurs from all regions of Germany flocked to the city, making Berlin the most important business location of the Empire. Economic prosperity allowed cultural life to flourish, and the social life of the citizens who had achieved prosperity soon eclipsed all other cities in the country. For the ladies, a suitable jewelry outfit was indispensable. Berlin was the ideal location for a jewelry merchant. One such was the merchant Wilhelm Müller. In 1847, he founded a specialized wholesale business for precious stones, pearls, jewels, gold and silver jewelry. Most of the creations were made in the branches in the gold city of Pforzheim and in the silver city of Schwäbisch-Gmünd. The parent company of the family business was located in Gertraudenstraße in Berlin Mitte. Miraculously, it survived the destruction of World War II and still stands today at Berlin's Spittelmarkt as a reminder of the imperial era. Since 1945, however, the company headquarters have been in Schwäbisch Gmünd.
