Written by Olly Gerrish

A finely made 14ct white gold Art Deco bow brooch with a platinum top that was made in the 1920s. It has been set with synthetic sapphires and diamonds. It was made by a company called Pistol & Pulker which was run by Franz Pulker and Gustav Pistol. They operated between 1867-1922 in Vienna, Austria. At this time synthetic sapphires were used in a lot of jewellery. In 1902, the French chemist Auguste Verneuil announced a process for producing synthetic ruby crystals. Following this successful process Verneuil focussed his efforts on making synthetic sapphires which he achieved in 1909. Verneuil patented the process of producing synthetic blue sapphires in 1911. They became the rage and were used all over Europe in Art Deco jewels. This bow brooch has been set with a central fifteen point diamond with shaped synthetic sapphires interspersed with rose cut diamonds within millgrained settings. It can be worn on a lapel or a beautiful dress
