All auctions / Jewelry & Gems / Elegant Bar Brooch With Natural Pearl & Diamonds, Around 1910
"The safety pin, as the smallest, most delicate toilet piece [...] is to be used in all forms to the toilet of a lady. Who even suspects the limit of usability of such needle? They are necessary for tie loops and ties, for jabots and collars, in a larger form for belts, skirt and jacket fastenings, for pulling open wide sleeves [...]." Thus, in 1904, the Deutsche Goldschmiedezeitung extolled the usefulness of a pin in an article called "The Jewelry as a Gift." Here is a particularly elegant representative of this genre of jewellery. The small bar brooch is in keeping with the taste of the years around 1910, with its love for light, ethereal designs, and features diamonds and a lightly baroque natural pearl. In the center, the design widens into a finely openwork showpiece in which four old European cut diamonds appear to float around the pearl. Milgrains and saw work demonstrate the master craftsmanship of those years. The brooch is very well preserved and executed in platinum on gold, typical of the period. We have discovered it in London, but according to its design and manner of making, it could have been made in Germany.
