"Fichus and berthes [= collars] made of lace, chiffon, tulle or a similar airy fabric are essential for a low-cut formal gown. Pleats and gathers are fastened with decorative pins made of precious metal, as they are now made in a rich variety and in great diversity." - This is what the editors of the German magazine Schmuck und Mode recommended to a reader in August 1901. The brooch shown here could have helped the elegant reader to keep delicate chiffons and laces in place. After all, jewellery made of diamonds, pearls and white precious metals was essential for formal dress, which was mainly worn in the evening – for example to receptions or concerts. Here, too, 22 natural pearls are arranged in a row, finely graduated so that the row tapers to a point at the ends. The frame of shimmering diamond roses that surrounds the pearls also echoes this shape. However, the elegance of the brooch does not end here: even from below, the settings of the pearls are engraved with floral ornaments. The fine brooch is made of platinum, while the pin is made of gold - as platinum was many times more expensive than gold at the time. This beautiful piece meets the demands of refined taste in every detail.
