Bar brooches are a form of jewelry that enjoyed great popularity in the first decades of the 20th century. They were worn in many different ways and were particularly creative during the Art Deco period. For example, the German fashion journal Die Dame announced in its fashion notes of 1925 that people now wore "rather voluminous pins, which always look best at the front of the waist as a fastener or the end of an insert." But they could also be seen as the end of a blouse collar, or even pinned over the ties of garçonnes. This is a particularly characteristic Art Deco design in the form of an elongated parallelogram. Geometric and rich in contrast, the brooch combines some of the most popular design features and materials of its era. Twelve old-cut diamonds and four diamond roses adorn the surface. Delicately sawn shadow gaps and sparkling milgrains form a floral decoration around them. In the center, a deep blue sapphire, which makes the white gemstones appear even brighter in contrast, forms the highlight of the design. The combination of metals is also typical of the time, as a fine layer of platinum has been applied to the front of the yellow gold base metal. This procedure is often found in pieces of jewellery from the early 20th century, as platinum was still much more expensive than gold at the time. The brooch is in excellent condition. An exemplary Art Deco jewel!
