Nature has always been one of the preferred sources of inspiration for jewellery design. Botanical motifs featuring leaves and flowers were already favored themes in art, and not just during the Art Nouveau era. Throughout the 20th century, plants were seen as symbolizing the forces of nature—the eternal cycle of growth and decay. To this day, floral pieces of jewellery—much like a bouquet of flowers—are an expression of deep affection and a welcome gift. One particular flower—the rose—is the subject of this brooch from around 1980. It blooms as a densely filled flower crafted from carved coral. The variety used here can be identified as Pacific coral due to its two-tone coloration and captivates with its delicate colour, which shifts between white areas and those in a rich salmon-pink. Three leaves carved from nephrite jade lend the piece of jewellery a remarkably lifelike appearance. The gemstones are set in high-karat gold. The brooch, which was likely made in Taiwan or Hong Kong, is in very good condition and serves as a still life that will never wilt.
