Today, we usually think of a brooch as a piece of jewellery that is worn under the shoulder for decorative purposes only. But this was not always the case: especially in the c. 1900s, so-called "pins", also known in German as "Ansteck-, Stab- oder Sicherheitsnadel", proved to be as pretty as they were useful. Such elongated brooches were offered in countless variations in jewelry catalogs. In 1904, the Deutsche Goldschmiedezeitung praised the usefulness of such pins in an article entitled Der Schmuck als Geschenk: "The safety pin, as the smallest, most delicate toiletry item [...] can be used in all forms for a lady's toilet. Who even suspects the limits of the usability of such needles? They are necessary for cravat bows and ties, for jabots and collars, in larger form for belts, skirt and jacket closures, for gathering wide sleeves [...]." The present brooch is such a delicate piece of jewellery that can still be used today to hold together a silk scarf, adorn a collar or hat or even the lapel in the classic manner. The narrow bar widens in the middle to form a diamond-shaped decorative element. A transitional-cut diamond sparkles in the center, accompanied by two small diamond roses. Fine sawing work in the Art Deco style structures the surface of the piece of jewellery, which is crafted in white on yellow gold. This fine piece of jewellery is in very good condition. We were able to discover it in Hamburg.
