Understanding Jewellery - The 20th Century

Every vintage jewellery dealer should surround themselves with as much reference work as possible, and this newly published book, Understanding Jewellery - The 20th Century by David Bennet and Daniela Mascetti, is an example of what should not be missing from the library.

In our case, there was an even bigger pleasant surprise that we've discovered within its pages than just the extent of documentation. We've found a brooch displayed that's remarkably similar to the vintage Cartier gold kinetic flower brooch in our jewellery collection.

"Kinetic" is even an understatement when we look at the unique moveable features of this meticulously crafted brooch. Not only does each gemstone stem in the heart of the flower tremble along with your every move: you can also decide whether you prefer the bud to be blooming or closed by manually folding in the gold flower petals.
