All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Elegant Art Deco Diamond Brooch Made of Platinum, Around 1930
In the era of Art Deco, jewellery of cool elegance and utmost luxury emerged in Europe and the world. Intoxicated by the speed of the new automobiles, delighted by the sparkle of champagne and still dizzy from the view of the new skyscrapers, a very unique design language emerged: bright colours, shiny metal and richly set with sparkling gems; such were the jewellery of the new era. It was the time of the great jewellery companies in Paris and New York, which catered to an international clientele of nobility, film and business. But independent masters were also designing pieces of previously unseen delicacy and perfection. In contrast to the historicizing forms of the 19th century, but also in distinction from the colourful Art Nouveau style, which was close to natural forms, they created jewellery that was intentionally modern, dynamic and non-representational. The present brooch comes from this environment, combining the radiant white of diamonds with the cool luster of platinum, unleashing a true symphony of light. The brooch features an elongated rectangular shape with a diamond-shaped flare in the center. A total of eighty-one transitional and rose cut diamonds set close together coat the center of the design. On the edges, an ornamental band of sawn arabesques completes the design and takes away the austerity of the angular forms. A small masterpiece of Art Deco, which we were able to discover in Baden and which inspires even under the magnifying glass. We have had a detailed certificate made, which also confirms the fine quality of the diamonds.
