With every dress fashion, special matching forms of jewelry also emerged (and disappeared). In the years shortly after 1900, when ladies liked to adorn themselves with large scarves and collars made of lace and other light fabrics, a special type of brooch emerged to hold these loosely wrapped accessories in place and keep them together. "The safety pin, as the smallest, most delicate piece of toiletry [...] is needed in all forms for a lady's toilet. Who even suspects the limits of the usability of such pins? They are necessary for cravat bows and ties, for jabots and collars, in a larger form for belts, skirt and jacket closures, for gathering wide sleeves [...]." This is how the Deutsche Goldschmiedezeitung praised the usefulness of a pin in 1904 in an article entitled "Jewelry as a gift". The brooch presented here is such a safety pin. It is made of platinum on gold and set with a total of fifty diamonds in various historical cuts. The sawn shadow gap and sparkling milgrains structure the surface and take away the heaviness of the piece. The stones are cleverly set in closed frames so that nothing could get caught in a scarf made of delicate fabric. The ethereal design language in glistening white is typical of the 1920s and the Art Deco style. We discovered it here in Berlin. It is in very good condition.
