Floral pieces of jewellery made from carved gemstones are a 20th-century Viennese specialty. Time and again, we receive beautiful brooches in the form of naturalistically cut flowers and leaves from the city on the Danube. This piece of jewellery is no exception. Its large flower is cut so artfully, with such rich detail and three-dimensionality, that the hard rock crystal appears soft and velvety. The brooch takes the form of a sculptural orchid bloom. The three outer petals are made of rock crystal, while the central petal at the base of the calyx is carved from violet amethyst. Set upon it are three white brilliant-cut diamonds, nestled among white-gold stamens. An elegantly curved stem completes the design. It, too, is set with small diamonds. We discovered this elegant brooch in Vienna, where, according to its hallmark, it was also crafted.
