During the 1940s, the human figure emerged as a motif in jewelry design, commonly depicting a specific person or symbolizing an occupation or sport. This motif was usually executed in a flat, two-dimensional manner with etching, engraving or chasing providing contrast. The four illustrated gold brooches, portraying service men, are examples of this style. Three depict French soldiers and are set with rubies, sapphires and diamonds, symbolizing the French 'tricolore.' The fourth, an English sailor, holds a torpedo with an image of the Iron Cross on the bow.
