This page from a book of jewelry designs after the relatively unknown German goldsmith David Baumann is teeming with ideas for brooches, pins, pendants, and ornaments that could be engraved in silver or gold. The designs indicate that certain pieces carry specific meanings attesting to religious convictions, friendship, and love. Others exude a sense of pure opulence and sometimes whimsy, such as the flying snail and insects made from diamonds.
