Description
Hans Brassler 14K Gold Lapis Lazuli Stick Pin An elegant transitional stick pin by Hans Brassler, crafted in 14K gold and set with a richly colored lapis lazuli plaque. This refined design bridges the flowing artistry of Art Nouveau and the emerging geometry of Art Deco, making it a distinctive early 20th-century jewel. This Hans Brassler 14K gold stick pin beautifully captures a moment of stylistic transition in jewelry history. Created during the early decades of the 20th century, the design reflects both the lingering influence of Art Nouveau and the rising clarity of Art Deco aesthetics. The subtle curves and stylized detailing nod to the organic elegance associated with Art Nouveau, while the symmetrical structure and clean lines anticipate the bold geometry that would define Art Deco in the 1920s. The result is a harmonious, transitional composition that feels both graceful and architectural. At its center rests a striking plaque of lapis lazuli, prized for its deep cobalt blue tone and natural character. The rich color of the stone contrasts beautifully with the warmth of the 14K gold setting, creating a refined and visually balanced piece. Stick pins such as this were essential accessories in the early 20th century, worn on lapels, cravats, or ties as subtle yet distinguished statements of style. Today, it remains a collectible example of American period jewelry and a sophisticated accent for modern wear.
