• Sobre la obra de arte

  This platinum brooch from the 1950s features a natural blue zircon, also known as starlite, weighing approximately 7.70ct. The round zircon is set in an octagonal bezel and flanked by stepped shoulders set with diamonds. The geometric design, cleanlines and open gallery work are typical of mid-century style, combining structure with a touch of colour. Solidly made yet elegant, it reflects the post-war taste for refined modern forms.

  Style
  Although most people would call this style Art Deco it is more considered to be a product of the fifties of the Twentieth Century. Strongly influenced by Art Deco but also by the Retro style. That to most people this is Art Deco is no coincidence as both Retro style and Fifties style are the style successors of Art Deco.
