Luminous green, shimmering golden leaves and dewdrops of diamond: this brooch transports you to a cheerful tropical world, to an endless summer. The design fills the basic shape of the brooch, a rectangle with rounded corners, with leaves and tendrils of gold on which the six diamonds in platinum settings are scattered as if at random. They dance a shimmering round dance around a high-quality cabochon of natural jadeite jade. Lighter and darker shades of green are intermingled here in an inner movement, circling around each other and giving the cabochon a unique structure. The fine design of the goldsmith's work is particularly beautiful. It is executed in a goldsmithing technique that is rarely used today: granulation. In this originally Etruscan goldsmithing technique, tiny gold or silver beads are soldered onto a precious metal in such a way that they are only connected to each other at their respective tiny points of contact. Light and shadow on the granulated surfaces create a three-dimensional effect, which is what makes granulation work so appealing. The difficulty with this technique is finding the exact melting point: Because if the granulation beads get just a tiny bit too hot, the whole work melts away. Here, however, everything is in the right place, even if the design plays with chance and has a playful element. But this is precisely what gives the brooch from around 1930 its cheerful aura.
