London set global standards in fashion and pop culture in the 1960s. The city went down in history in this decade as Swinging London and was characterised by a youth culture that hungered for everything new and modern. Only now had England overcome the economically difficult period after the Second World War and the young generation indulged in an optimistic hedonism that was particularly evident in fashion and music. In Soho's trendy shops like Carnaby Street, the miniskirt in particular caused a sensation. This set of brooch and matching earclips comes from London and beautifully illustrates the playful zeitgeist of this turbulent era. It combines two old jewellery motifs in a surprising new way: the brooch and ear clips appear as triple intertwined knots that seem to be made of feathers. Knots and feathers have been found in jewellery designs for centuries, but we rarely encounter them together in one object. Capturing the spirit of the times, we can observe here the desire to experiment. The Demi-Parure comes from the workshop of Ben Rosenfeld. Rosenfeld's jewellery design gained international renown in the 1960s and 70s and his designs mainly use textured gold for unusual design ideas. Rosenfeld ran his business in Hatton Garden from 1959 to 1987. Due to this relatively short creative period, only a few of his jewellery pieces can be found in the trade. The Victoria & Albert Museum in London keeps a bracelet from his hand in its holdings in the jewellery department: Our set shows Rosenfeld's signature particularly well. The brooch and clips are made of heavy, high-carat yellow gold and display a setting of 21 diamonds. Due to its hallmarks, the well-preserved set can be dated to the years 1964-1965. The bows came to us from Hamburg.
