Brassler Roses and Pearls Brooch Roses and Citrine |
| |
A bright, lemony yellow citrine set between
golden roses and four luminous pearls. In the early 1900s the
imaginative artist, Hans Brassler, created a small collection of
gem-set brooches with small roses and pearls set atop golden
trellises. This brooch with a cheerful citrine is a sunny
example created in 14kt gold around 1910. The reverse of this brooch is as beautifully crafted as the front. Note the sturdiness of the frame that protects the gemstones and assures the integrity of the rose trellis. When worn on a lapel, hat or blouse the brooch is secured with a strong pin stem and early safety clasp. This brooch was designed and crafted to survive its next 100 years as beautifully as its first.
Hans Brassler was an
imaginative jewelry maker, designer and artist who in the
early 1900s created jewels of striking originality and
uncompromising craftsmanship. The maker's mark of Hans
Brassler - "14B" inside a double oval - is stamped on the
lower reverse of the brooch beneath the bottom pearl.
