When we think of 1920s jewellery, the first thing that comes to mind is white, straight-lined and geometric jewels in the taste of Art Deco from France. However, as is so often the case, different fashions and tastes existed simultaneously in the wild years between the wars, old and new stood side by side, and local traditions also persisted. In Germany, for example, a fashion influenced by Expressionism developed in parallel to the internationally successful Art Deco from France. These designs show plant forms made up of geometric arches, fantastic, curved surfaces and jagged tips. A very typical type is the so-called "vegetable ring" made of gold with colored stones, but pieces of jewellery were also created in silver during these years that are immediately recognizable. This brooch is one such piece of jewellery. It is made of silver, arrow-shaped, with a dark patina and set with a red precious coral. The silver is embossed from behind in strangely lively-looking shapes, on which curling tendrils of silver are laid. It is a piece of costume jewelry in the best sense of the word, made according to the latest fashions and yet of high quality and crafted by hand. The very sculptural work is very well preserved. We discovered the brooch here in Berlin.
