Hans Brassler Citrine Brooch Roses and Citrine II |
| |
A rich, lambent citrine and bright, luminous
pearls rest between golden roses and trailing leaves. The
translucent, honey color of the citrine plays beautifully
against the white of the pearls and warmth of the gold.
This entrancing brooch was created by Hans Brassler in 14kt
gold, circa 1910. The reverse of the brooch is as finely crafted as the front. A sturdy framework supports and protects the back of the citrine and pearls. Note the precise cut-out work and smooth surfaces. When worn the brooch is secured with a strong pin stem and early safety clasp.
Hans Brassler was an
imaginative jeweler, designer and artist who for a few years
in the early 1900s created a small collection of original,
distinctive jewels. His work is valued for its striking
originality and unexcelled craftsmanship. The maker's
mark of Hans Brassler ("14B" inside a double oval) is stamped
on the top of the clasp.
