Description

The early years of the young Federal Republic saw a previously unseen increase in wealth and quality of life with the economic miracle. After the sorrows of wartime, the displays of the stores shone with a new luxury. Last but not least, jewellery and watches served to visibly display the new joie de vivre to the outside world. The present brooch exemplifies the jewelry taste of this time. It shows a stylized flower bouquet, dissolved in filigree gold bars. It is no coincidence that the shape of the flowers is reminiscent of the kidney-shaped tables so characteristic of the 1950s. Glittering diamonds, as well as a sapphire, ruby and zircon give the design a vibrant colourfulness. The diamonds are held by white gold settings, while the rest of the jewellery is made of yellow gold. With its summer colourfulness, the piece looks playful and cheerful. Floral motifs are characteristic of the early post-war period, as they are particularly well suited to a time of new beginnings. And there is one more thing that is typical for the time when the brooch was created: the asymmetrically designed shape only prevailed at that time and people began to wear brooches as we know it best today: On the side under the shoulder, on a jacket or dress. Before that brooches were often symmetrically designed, because they were intended to be worn centrally on the corsage or on the collar of a blouse. The small bouquet is very beautifully preserved and found its way to us from the Rhineland.
