All auctions / Jewellery & Gems / Ethereal "Garland Style" Brooch in Platinum & Diamonds, c. 1910
In the early years of the 20th century, goldsmiths in Europe achieved a finesse of execution and design like never before. Tastes had changed and were tired of the heavy forms of the 19th century. However, the technical requirements had also developed further: New tools and machines made it possible to work even more finely and precisely. Platinum now made it possible to create fine yet durable bridges and details that had never been seen before. For all these reasons, the shapes also changed. The designs of these years often look like delicate lace, so fine and light are the details. Brooches and necklaces, earrings and even rings are made of delicate nets, garlands and flowers. This piece of jewellery is a wonderful example of this new, light style, which dominated fashion throughout Europe until the First World War. The brooch has a transverse navette shape and is extremely delicately designed. Vertical bars of platinum fill the surfaces, while a delicate flower appears to float in a circular recess in each of the two points. A beautiful old-cut diamond of around 0.26 ct forms the center of the composition. It is set in a delicate frame and framed by a laurel wreath of octagonal diamonds and diamond roses. Smaller diamonds also adorn the frame. Together with the meticulously crafted milgrains, they lend the jewellery an ethereal lightness. This enchanting brooch came to us from Munich.
