Celebrated for their timeless femininity, ribbon and bow motif jewels have long held a cherished place in the history of jewelry. Far from a passing trend, this motif has deep roots emerging in the 17th century European court culture and was continually reinterpreted through the romantic jewels of the Victorian era, the Belle Époque, the Edwardian period and beyond. During the Art Deco period, bow brooches were reimagined in line with the era’s emphasis on modernity and geometric form. Designs became more stylized and architectural, often in platinum and pavé-set diamonds, occasionally accented calibré-cut colored stones. While early Art Deco jewels combined colored gemstones and diamonds, the later period favored all white compositions with diamonds as the signature gemstone.The present brooch dates to the end of the Art Deco era. The round and baguette-cut diamonds, asymmetrical silhouette and double-banded ornamentation exemplify the exceptional craftsmanship and the geometric elegance of the period.

Her pieces range from a lively multi-colored sapphire, sapphire and diamond necklace to a pair of striking diamond earrings, forming an assemblage of wearable art that reflected her modernist eye.

Light, color, exoticism and naturalism formed the core of Louis Comfort Tiffany’s (1848–1933) artistic vision. At the heart of Louis Comfort’s practice was a fascination with how materials could refract, diffuse, and transform light. His jewelry designs centered on color and luminosity with gemstones that were rarely embraced by mainstream American designers of the period. This shift in emphasis elevated the prominence of moonstone, opal, turquoise and other less conventional materials within his work. The relationship between color and illumination remained fundamental to his artistic production. In the present lot, translucent moonstones exemplify Louis Comfort’s attention to optical effects. Their adularescent glow softens the light passing through them while producing a cool, bluish shimmer that evokes a sense of mystery. Each stone is calibrated to follow the curve of the scroll motif, ending in delicate drop-shaped fringes. The accenting periwinkle-hued sapphires provide a vivid contrast to the moonstones’ cool glow, enriching the composition and guiding the viewer’s eye toward the central sapphire.
