During the Art Deco era, a new basic form for pieces of jewellery began to gain popularity: the shield, designed as an elongated hexagon or, as seen here, as an octagon. It aligned with the 1920s’ preference for graphic forms—for jewelry designs whose ornamentation unfolded more on the surface than in three-dimensional volume. Above all, however, the shield shape was ideally suited to showcasing the extraordinarily delicate craftsmanship of the era. With the finest saw-cut detailing and narrow shadow gaps, this brooch appears to dissolve into a network of geometric elements. Milgrains further texture the metal and lend even the narrowest settings a delicate, pearl-like, lustrous contour. This exceptionally delicate craftsmanship is enhanced by a platinum overlay on the white gold base. Due to its high strength, toughness, and dimensional stability, platinum allows for particularly fine yet sturdy bridges and settings. After the precious metal became increasingly established in high-end jewelry art c. 1900, it contributed significantly to that almost weightless filigree quality that characterized many pieces of jewellery in the decades that followed. At the center of this modern design, a transition-cut diamond weighing approximately 0.17 ct sparkles. Additional octagonal- and rose cut diamonds accompany it, causing the delicate bridges to glisten with every movement and as the light shifts. A wonderful yet wearable Art Deco piece that combines geometric precision and artisanal sophistication into a glamorous whole.
