[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 526810, member: 2844"]It is gorgeous, kyra.:happy: You're right, it is one of the Modernist styles, possibly transitional Jugendstil to Bauhaus. I don't think Viennese Secessionist, but you never know. Jugendstil certainly had a more stylized, structural form, alongside the more general Art Nouveau swirls. The trumpet shape reminds me of a pair of very long Jugendstil tin earrings I have, but those are otherwise without decoration. These decorations, especially the slits, look Bauhaus. It is amazing that the triangular 'slit things' are open-centred, very nice detail, only just visible. I can picture this in Fritz Lang's Metropolis btw.;)[/QUOTE]
