Every era has its own fashion. Shortly before 1900, it was the strong colours of high-carat golden yellow and red gold that made hearts beat faster: In combination with diamonds, this created sparkling treasures that also stood out from the colourful and exuberant dresses of the time. The fashion of the first decade after 1900 brought a completely new development. The jewellery shone in bright white, made of platinum and diamonds, but the shapes now became increasingly light, delicate, even ethereal. In particular, the ever-improving use of platinum made it possible to create the most delicate bars and structures. Hardly more than the threads in a spider's web, these designs stretch out like an airy web, whether as pendants, brooches or rings. And they always bear luminous diamonds or precious natural pearls. The bar brooch presented here speaks this elegant language of form. Towards the center, the design widens and presents three particularly beautiful gems, an old European cut diamond weighing about 0.46 ct and two fine natural pearls. Small diamond roses set flashes of light and delicately sawn shadow gaps provide elegant breaks. The finest milegrains accentuate the beauty of the materials with additional reflections, and the luxurious platinum luster of the orient pearls harmonizes beautifully with the sparkling diamonds. The result is an exemplary white jewel of the Belle Epoque; a particularly beautifully and sumptuously appointed brooch in the best condition and workmanship!

Luxury, joie de vivre and the celebration of beauty were the ideal of the years around 1900: the Belle Époque reveled in wealth and glamor: the world's most beautiful dancers danced at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, the society couples in love met on the Ringstrasse in Vienna, and the ladies' gowns and diamonds shone brightly at the balls in the elegant hotels on Unter den Linden in Berlin.
