Glamorous Art Deco Brooch With Diamonds in White Gold, Vienna, 1930s

In the Art Deco era, a new basic shape for jewellery began its triumphant advance: The shield, designed as an elongated oval or polygon. It met the 1920s preference for graphic forms, because the large surface could be filled with powerful geometric patterns. The brooch here demonstrates this fashion in an impressive way. The slightly stepped outline is filled inside with jagged, powerful lines, all of which are set with sparkling diamonds. An additional large diamond of 0.85 ct is set in the center of the design, held in place by a milgrain ornate frame. The gemstone is shaped in a transitional cut and shines in fine white: a true highlight of this magnificent piece of jewellery. A total of 3.19 ct of diamonds have been worked into the brooch. An independent certificate has confirmed the quality of the gemstones and comes with the piece of jewellery. The brooch sets the diamonds in 14-carat white gold, which with its bright and elegant luster, along with platinum, was the fashion material of the Art Deco period. The brooch found its way to us from the Austrian capital, Vienna, and its hallmarks show that it was also created there. The powerful forms allow us to date the excellently preserved piece of jewellery to the 1930s.
