Marcus & Co. Amethyst Brooch
This stunning brooch by Marcus & Co. features two pear shaped amethysts, totaling approximately 9.50 carats, and a sizable natural pearl in the center. Created circa 1910, the design marks the transition between Art Nouveau and Art Deco, combining natural motifs with structural aspects. The symmetrical design is completed by several round cut white diamonds and enamel detailing. Set in 18K yellow gold and platinum.
The American jewelry firm of Marcus & Co. was founded in 1892 by Herman Marcus, a German immigrant whose knowledge of European trends and previous experience at Ellemeyer, court jewelers of Dresden, won him a position at Tiffany & Co. In 1884, Marcus left Tiffany to join Jaques and Marcus, a firm in which his son was a partner. By the time the family took control of the business in 1892, the firm had succeeded in introducing lesser-known colored gemstones to the market, creating pieces with gems such as tourmalines, opals, garnets, peridots and fancy colored sapphires.
