Stunning Brooch With Diamonds in Platinum, Around 1930

A breathtaking sight is offered by this brooch, whose frosty sparkle takes us back to the years around 1930. The years between the wars, the Art Deco years, were a wild time. The people of Europe and the USA were confronted with numerous drastic innovations: Electric light became fully established, film created its stars and starlets, who were admired across national borders. The automobile took possession of the city and architecture grew sky-high all at once. While on a social and political level the tensions grew stronger and stronger and pushed up from the depths, the surface with films, magazines and on the boulevards of the capitals - still - shone in a glittering, seductive way. When at night the movie palaces, the department stores and restaurants were brightly lit, the headlights of the cars brought speed and movement into the cities - then one could imagine oneself in a new, better and modern world. The brooch, which is presented here, shines in the material composition of noble platinum and a multitude of white diamonds, which was typical for the Art Deco period. The piece of jewellery shows itself as a transverse rectangle, a classic jewel form of the epoch. Its surface, elegantly pierced with arabesque sawing work, presents a total of 200 diamonds with a total weight of 7.71 carats. Fine milgrain settings remove any heaviness from the design and dissolve the shape in a shimmering play of light reflections. A special, indeed wonderful piece of wearable jewellery history, excellently preserved and enlivened by a dreamlike inner fire. We have had the quality of the materials confirmed by an independent certificate.
