The jabot pin, épingle de jabot, is a special type of brooch consisting of two parts. When worn, the middle part disappears and only the two ends are visible on clothing. They were originally used to pin the jabot, a bib made of batiste or lace, to the neckline of the dress. In the late 19th century, they were often designed in the shape of arrows or swords. In the early 20th century, they became fashionable again and now took on geometric, abstract shapes. This brooch presents two identical, round showpieces. Each of the two elements consists of a surface covered with pink enamel, framed by dynamic curves of platinum and diamonds. One of these end pieces can be pulled off, allowing the pin to be attached in many different ways. It can hold a scarf, decorate a tie or enhance a lapel. The pin exemplifies the refined and sophisticated aesthetics of the early 20th century. During this period, the use of heavy materials was increasingly dispensed with; instead, the preciousness of a piece of jewellery was to be expressed in the artistic design and virtuoso execution of the goldsmith's work. Colored enamel surfaces were used to achieve a light, almost ethereal effect. The technique of creating even and flawless enamel surfaces over guilloché gold was particularly challenging - a difficulty that contemporaries were well aware of and which further increased the value of such works. We discovered the pin in Austria. It is of a rather dainty size, but that is precisely what makes it so beautiful.
