All auctions / Jewelry & Gems / Wonderful Brooch Made of Satin-Finished Rock Crystal with Diamond
Jewellery made from cut rock crystal is a recurring theme in the history of jewellry design. In Art Deco and up until the 1950s, it was Suzanne Belperron in particular who designed and had rings, brooches and even bangles made from satin-finished rock crystal in Paris. In the late 1960s, David Webb adopted her love of the material and once again turned it into a major fashion that was quickly imitated worldwide. This brooch is a large leaf of cut rock crystal. The individual veins and details of the leaf are lovingly cut from the hard gemstone. Thanks to the skillful processing of the surfaces, the crystal nevertheless appears as soft and velvety as a real leaf. A single brilliant-cut diamond enriches the design and looks like a glittering ice crystal. The stem with brooch on the back is made of white gold. It bears Viennese goldsmith's marks. Jewellery with plants, leaves and flowers cut from precious stones was very fashionable in Vienna in the 1960s, and we have often discovered wonderful and precious examples of this. The leaf we discovered in Vienna is another example of this, as wonderful as it is wintry. The brooch is in very good condition and is an unusual eye-catcher.
