The artwork, “Karat Gold, Platinum, Opal, Sapphire, and Garnet Brooch,” created by Louis Comfort Tiffany in 1920, is a quintessential example of Art Nouveau (Modern) design and jewelry craftsmanship. This piece is part of the distinguished Tiffany jewelry series.
The brooch features an intricately designed arrangement with a central opal, radiating vivid shades of blue and green. Flanking the opal are meticulously set sapphires and garnets, which enrich the vibrant visual appeal of the piece. The frame, composed of karat gold and platinum, underpins the luxuriousness and sophisticated craftsmanship characteristic of Tiffany’s creations. The integration of these precious gemstones culminates in an exquisite, harmonious design that epitomizes the essence of early 20th-century jewelry artistry.
