Dating from around 1945, this Belgian retro brooch takes the form of a richly stylized tulip, whose sculptural yellow gold petals are highlighted with rows of vividly colored synthetic rubies. The openwork flower head contrasts with the long polished stem and elongated leaves, giving the piece both movement and presence. Bold yet graceful, it illustrates the period’s taste for natural motifs reinterpreted through strong, architectural lines.
- Type of jewelry: brooch
- Condition: very good condition

- Style: retro jewelry, a style corresponding to jewelry from approximately 1935 to 1950. Its typical characteristics include bold, sculptural volumes in yellow, pink, or red gold, polished surfaces, concealed hinges, and rows of square or calibrated stones set in channel settings. Typical motifs include tank, scrolls, ribbons, bows, fan shapes, stylized flowers, broad panels of polished gold, and calibrated stones set in channel settings. This style was influenced by the late Art Deco, the material shortages of the Second World War, the glamour of Hollywood cinema, post-war optimism, references to industrial design, and evolving social roles.
- Style specifics: the retro style is associated with the 1940s and the early 1950s. It often features large stylized shapes, ribbons, bows, scrolls, drapery, rose gold, and colored stones.
