Brooch 1897 - 1903

This brooch, crafted by Tiffany & Co. between 1897 and 1903, features a central square-cut gemstone surrounded by an intricate design of diamonds set in silver. The brooch, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of the high-quality jewelry produced by Tiffany & Co. during the late 19th century. The delicate floral motif and the use of diamonds highlight the craftsmanship and artistic excellence of the period. The brooch's small size, measuring 1 1/4 x 1 3/4 in. (3.2 x 4.4 cm), emphasizes the meticulous detail and refined aesthetics prevalent in the Art Nouveau movement.
