Hans Brassler Amethyst Stickpin Amethyst Scrolls |
| An elegant stickpin with sinuous, flowing scrolls
above and dramatic, angular scrolls below framing a regal
amethyst. The rich purple of the gemstone plays
beautifully against the warm tones of the gold. Created by
Hans Brassler in 14kt gold, circa 1910. Brassler was an imaginative jeweler who created striking miniature works of art in gold. He often combined flowing elements of Art Nouveau design with more angular motifs which anticipate the Art Deco era. He found inspiration for his wonderful jewels in an eclectic range of sources - distant and ancient cultures, the natural world and, most importantly, his own fertile imagination. The back of this stickpin is finely crafted with a sturdy gold frame securely holding the amethyst and a strong gold pin stem securing the jewel when worn. The maker's mark of the Brassler Company (a double oval surrounding "14B") is stamped on the lower reverse beneath the pin stem. Cost: $525 |
