Figurative brooches with large, finely cut coloured stones were part of every well-stocked jewellery box in the 1950s and 1960s. This brooch is a particularly beautiful example of this fashion. Crafted from high-carat gold, it combines different gemstones to create a lively, expressive design. The centerpiece is a brightly coloured amethyst in a high cabochon cut, which is set in the middle of an expressively designed flower. This unfolds from seven luminous, natural citrines in a golden hue with a total weight of around seventy-eight carats, whose staggered and slightly offset arrangement gives the piece of jewellery a beautiful plasticity. This creates changing light reflections with every incidence of light, which are enhanced by small brilliant-cut white diamonds scattered at different levels. The brooch is a so-called fur clip with a double pin, which elegantly balances the weight of the massive piece of jewellery. Originally designed for fur coats and stoles, such pieces were particularly popular in the middle of the 20th century. But even today, the brooch can be worn in a variety of ways, for example on coats, blazers or strong fabrics. The brooch bears the signature of René Kern, who produced wonderful jewels in the mid-century style from 1950 onwards. Kern counted high-ranking international celebrities among his customers, including the Shah of Persia. In addition to the flagship store on Düsseldorf's Königsallee, he also ran other stores. Our brooch dates back to the heyday of the company, when René Kern was still active himself. The brooch is in excellent condition and delights with its opulent colours and first-class workmanship. A luxurious piece of jewellery with timeless appeal that came to us from Berlin-Dahlem.
