Hans Brassler Citrine Brooch Citrine and Roses |
| |
A lemony citrine set between golden roses and
bright, luminous pearls. Around 1910 Hans Brassler created
a series of small brooches featuring roses blooming on a
wire "trellis" with accenting pearls. This jewel set with
a citrine is a particularly cheerful example. Crafted in
14kt gold, circa 1910. The reverse of the brooch is almost as beautiful as the front. Note the crispness and fine details of the craftsmanship/design. Sturdy frames support the citrine and pearls and are connected by the golden trellis. Lastly, when worn the brooch is secured with a strong pin stem and safety clasp.
Hans Brassler was an
imaginative jeweler, designer and goldsmith who for a few
years in the early 1900s created a wonderful collection of
distinctive jewels. His work is known for its striking
originality and uncompromising craftsmanship. The
maker's mark of Hans Brassler - "14B" inside a double oval -
is stamped on the lobe beneath the lower pearl.
