A leaf sparkling in the dew, a great leaf of wine lures our senses. Set above us with diamonds, it laughs in the light that it is a joy. A large gray Tahitian pearl is attached to the leaf and gives support to the design. Jewellery in natural shapes has accompanied the history of jewellery since the late 18th century. The shapes and details change over time, the workmanship, for example, becomes more and more delicate from generation to generation, parallel to the development of new techniques of goldsmithing and gemstone setting. In this case, the perfect cut of the diamonds, the choice of high-carat white gold and the setting with a Tahitian pearl reveal a creation in years around 2000. The choice of vine leaves should not be understood solely as a reference to the pleasures of enjoying wine, revered since ancient times. In the imagination of the early 19th century, wine - enjoyed in moderation - was at the same time associated with an increase of mental powers (not only their obfuscation)! In this sense, for example, the porcelain decoration "Full green wine wreath" on porcelain from Meissen, which was designed in 1817 and is still in use today, is to be understood. We were able to purchase the piece of jewellery in Hamburg. It can be worn as a brooch, with the Tahitian pearl. However, if you unhook the pearl, the brooch becomes a pendant that can be worn on a fine white gold chain, for example. The piece of jewellery is perfectly preserved. An independent appraisal has confirmed the quality of the materials.
