"I'm not dressed without a tie pin," remarked Karl Lagerfeld - a statement that aptly reflects his uncompromising approach to style and perfection. As a fine accessory, tie and lapel pins set specific accents and give the appearance an additional touch of elegance. They are more than mere jewellery: a deliberately chosen detail that underlines personality and style. This particularly luxurious pin came to us from the south of England. Made in the early years of the 20th century, it features an impressive emerald drop as its central showpiece. This is entirely in keeping with the taste of its time, as drop-shaped emeralds were in vogue around c. 1900. Many of these stones came to Europe from India at the time. They had already come to India from South America in earlier centuries; now the maharajas had the stones recut in Europe. The stone in our needle probably also comes from an older context. The emerald is drilled at the tip and is held by a flower-shaped platinum setting. Fine diamond roses and an old-cut diamond accompany the intensely colored gemstone and lend the piece additional brilliance.
