In the years following the Second World War, jewelers, goldsmiths and jewellery designers broke new ground. The sense of form of this era changed noticeably: an almost casual asymmetry took the place of strict symmetries and lent even the richest diamond designs an optimistic esprit. Abstract borrowings from ribbons and bows were shaped in platinum or white gold into slightly three-dimensional compositions whose radiance was further enhanced by diamonds of the highest quality. It was the return of the so. "all-diamond jewellery". Similar to the designs of the 1920s, diamonds were the only precious stones chosen for the magnificent setting. This brooch speaks precisely this language of the new era. Its elegant, curved lines are reminiscent of ribbons of fabric fluttering in the wind, which come together to form an artistic movement. It is set with 150 diamonds in different cuts, whose sparkle makes the platinum almost invisible. Together, the stones weigh around 13.85 carats and transform the surface of the piece of jewellery into a glistening play of white light. The three movably mounted pendulums, which end in magnificent drops, are a sophisticated detail. They can be removed individually so that the brooch can be worn in different ways. A practical double clip also ensures that it sits securely even on firmer fabrics such as a coat or fur collar. Designs of this kind were an integral part of the post-war repertoire. They reflect the fun-loving attitude that prevailed in the 1950s - a time when precious white jewels were prized for the evening. This was because the 19th century distinction between jewellery for daytime and jewellery for festive occasions still applied. Diamonds in white gold or platinum were considered indispensable at balls and receptions, occasionally complemented by colorful accents in ruby, sapphire or emerald. This brooch comes from a noble Hanseatic estate and is in excellent condition. Its dreamlike inner fire makes it a masterpiece of its era. An appraisal carried out in Vienna independently confirms the high quality of the diamonds and is of course enclosed with the brooch.
