We fell in love with this brooch at first sight. It depicts two charming little birds perched on a branch, seemingly engaged in a cheerful conversation. The piece is crafted from high-carat gold. The birds’ tail feathers are adorned with colourful polychrome enamel, while their eyes are set with rubies. It was made in the workshop of Aldo Garavelli in Valenza, who at the time specialised in high-quality animal brooches, and dates to the 1960s. It is the exquisite craftsmanship and the strong, original design that make this bird brooch a true conversation piece. The golden creatures found their way to us from the Rhineland.

Jewellery of the 1960s playfully turns against the abstractions of Art Deco as well as against the widespread classicism of the immediate pre-war years and thus testifies to the will for a completely new beginning. With lightness and wit, the deprivations of the war were renounced and turned towards the future, without at the same time forgetting to express the new wealth of the economic miracle in the field of jewellery as well.
