Description

This is a flower-shaped brooch from France in the 1880s. It is made entirely of Bronze and inlaid with cut glass and dripping gold glass (saphiret). The work is designed as a simple and beautiful little flower, with five petals surrounding a stamen of transparent cut glass in the center, and the prong-setting design visually provides a lace-like outline change. What makes the little flower look outstanding and unique is the indescribable dreamy color on the petals. This kind of brick red is exposed with blue light and shadow, and the material that changes from brown-purple to pink-orange as the light changes is called dripping gold glass (saphiret). ). This kind of glass Gemstone began to be produced in the Czechoslovakian jewelry town of Gablonz in the mid-19th century. The production method is to drop liquid gold into sapphire-colored glass. The result of this process will produce psychedelic pink-orange and pink-blue tones. glass Gemstone. Because this material is essentially glass, it is mostly inlaid in sterling silver, gold-plated, and low-karat gold works. However, at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, due to the rise in gold prices, it was no longer economically cost-effective to produce this kind of glass Gemstone. Production of gold-dropped glass was discontinued, and the recipe was slowly lost. The short production period of half a century makes this kind of glass Gemstone relatively rare, and because of its special color, it is loved by collectors and has a very high collection value. In the 1950s, German manufacturers tried to reproduce this glass Gemstone and created the so-called “sappharine”. Modern fashion jewelry also uses gold foil to try to reproduce this unpredictable color, but real gold-dropped glass still has incomparable qualities. historical glory.
