• Created during the important "Brücke" period.
• A particularly beautifu example of the individual design of each piece of jewelry.
• In the silver fitting, Schmidt-Rottluff follows the natural shape of the stone instead of forcing it into a geometric form.
• Pieces of jewelry by the artist are rarely offered on the auction market (source: artprice.com).
