Vintage Gold Brooch with Pearls & Diamonds, Germany c. 1965

Jewelry from the post-war period often turned imaginatively and playfully against the widespread classicism of the immediate pre-war years and thus testified to the will for a completely new beginning after the Second World War. The deprivations of the Great War were renounced with lightness and wit and turned towards the future, without forgetting at the same time to express the new wealth of the economic miracle in the field of jewellery. This piece of jewelry, created in the 1960s, takes the form of a "spray brooch" that spreads out on different sides to radiate its shine and shimmer. Starting from a diamond-studded, shell-like element, 15 golden bars are elegantly curved and richly set with larger diamonds and pearls, giving the object both dynamism and volume. The dynamism of the piece reminds us of a shooting star or fireworks, which is further enhanced by the material - high-carat yellow gold, pearls and diamonds. The total of 43 diamonds are brilliant-cut and have a total weight of approx. 0.60 ct. The eight pearls are fine Akoya cultured pearls. This brooch can be combined with other jewellery made from pearls or diamonds to make a sparkling statement. It came to us from southern Germany.
