Modern Brooches

MODERN STYLE

Rooted in centuries of history of adornment dating back to the ancient world, modern jewelry reimagines traditional techniques, forms and materials for expressive new pieces. As opposed to contemporary jewelry, which responds to the moment in which it was created, modern jewelry often describes designs from the 20th to 21st centuries that reflect movements and trends in visual culture.

Modern jewelry emerged from the 19th-century shift away from jewelry indicating rank or social status. The Industrial Revolution allowed machine-made jewelry using electric gold plating, metal alloys and imitation stones, making beautiful jewelry widely accessible. Although mass production deemphasized the materials of the jewelry, the vision of the designer remained important, something that would be furthered in the 1960s with what’s known as the “critique of preciousness.”

A design fair called the “Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes” brought global attention to the Art Deco style in 1925 and gathered a mix of jewelry artists alongside master jewelers like Van Cleef & Arpels, Mauboussin and Boucheron. Art Deco designs from Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels unconventionally mixed gemstones like placing rock crystals next to diamonds while borrowing motifs from eclectic sources including Asian lacquer and Persian carpets. Among Cartier’s foremost design preoccupations at the time were high-contrast color combinations and crisp, geometric forms and patterns. In the early 20th century, modernist jewelers like Margaret De Patta and artists such as Alexander Calder — who is better known for his kinetic sculptures than his provocative jewelry — explored sculptural metalwork in which geometric shapes and lines were preferred over elaborate ornamentation.

Many of the innovations in modern jewelry were propelled by women designers such as Wendy Ramshaw, who used paper to craft her accessories in the 1960s. During the 1970s, Elsa Peretti created day-to-night pieces for Tiffany & Co. while designers like Lea Stein experimented with layering plastic, a material that had been employed in jewelry since the mid-19th century and had expanded into Bakelite, acrylics and other unique materials.

Mid-Century Italian 14 Karat Yellow Gold Shell Cameo Brooch with Diamond 1960s
Mid-Century Italian 14 Karat Yellow Gold Shell Cameo Brooch with Diamond 1960s

Mid-Century Italian 14 Karat Yellow Gold Shell Cameo Brooch with Diamond 1960s

Located in Towson, MD

This estate 14 karat yellow gold Italian shell cameo brooch with diamond accent is a mid-century masterpiece dating to the 1960s, stamped "14K Italy." The hand-carved sardonyx shell cameo measures 1.75 inches by 1.25 inches, weighs 7.62 grams, and features a round brilliant diamond accent weighing approximately 0.01 carats with H color and SI1 to SI2 clarity, making this a true fine jewelry cameo brooch. A foldable bail allows this piece to be worn as a brooch or a pendant. The finely carved female profile is rendered in high relief, her elaborately upswept coiffure adorned with delicate flowers and a ribbon. What makes this Italian cameo brooch truly exceptional is the addition of the diamond set into the carving itself as a tiny necklace. This intimate and imaginative detail, a real diamond depicted as jewelry within the jewelry, is a mark of the extraordinary skill of the mid-century Italian artisans who created it. The 14 karat yellow gold mounting is finished with a classic twisted rope border. Italy has been the world's foremost source for carved shell cameos since the nineteenth century, with the workshops of Torre del Greco near Naples producing the finest examples for international collectors. Mid-century Italian cameo jewelry...
