Antique Art Deco Guilloché Enamel & 935 Silver Brooch European Jugendstil
A stunning Art Deco-era brooch, masterfully crafted in 935 silver and adorned with vibrant blue guilloché enamel, deep red cabochon gemstones (likely garnet or synthetic ruby), and delicate diamond accents. The geometric design and openwork silver detailing reflect influences from both the Art Deco movement (1920s-1930s) and the earlier Jugendstil style (1890s-1910s), making this a remarkable crossover piece from Europe's golden age of jewelry design. Metal: Hallmarked 935 silver, indicating a higher purity than standard sterling (925), commonly used in Austrian, German, and Swiss jewelry from the early 20th century. Enamel: Exquisite blue guilloché enamel, a refined technique where translucent enamel is applied over an engraved metal surface, creating a radiant, light-reflecting effect. Gemstones: Two deep red cabochon stones (likely garnets or synthetic rubies) set within a stylized, fan-like Art Deco motif. Diamond Accents: Three small diamonds add a touch of brilliance to the intricate design. Size: Compact yet eye-catching, measuring approximately 1 inch wide (see reference in photos). Clasp: Features a classic C-clasp pin, typical of antique brooches from the early 20th century. Markings: Clearly stamped 935 and STERLING, suggesting a European maker with possible export ties.
