Product Details

This magnificent Jean Louis Scherrer basketweave brooch stems directly from the golden era of the fashion house's jewelry line, specifically the late 1970s to mid-1980s. The Runway Era: During this timeframe, Scherrer's collections were legendary for unapologetic Parisian drama, structure, and opulence. His jewelry lines leaned heavily into bold, chunky geometric shapes inspired by the Art Deco movement and Hollywood glamour. The Construction: The piece utilizes a high-quality thick heavy gold plating over a base alloy metal. The dual-texture design—alternating between smooth, highly polished ribbons and heavily grooved, ribbed wires—is a signature technique of French couture jewelry workshops during that period, designed to catch light dynamically from all angles.
