Art Deco jewellery and taste is a recurring point of reference in the Maison Cartier collections. The foundation for this was laid by the 150 or so pieces of jewellery that the Maison presented at the major exhibition Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris in 1925, with which it played a decisive role in shaping the new style. Cartier's Art Deco pieces of jewellery are characterized by cool, white metals, rich settings of diamonds and the use of black enamel and onyx, a colour scheme that had previously only been used in mourning jewellery. In the 1920s, however, this cool, high-contrast aesthetic became the fashion of the hour. It was no coincidence that Coco Chanel also became famous with her "little black dress" just a little later, in 1927. The brooch presented here, a so-called jabot pin, originated from this tradition. It features two identical end pieces with onyx and diamonds in white gold settings. One of the end pieces can be pulled off, allowing the pin to be attached in many different ways. It can hold a scarf or adorn a tie. The pin is part of an entire collection, the Collection Menotte, which was launched in 2003 and also included rings and bracelets in addition to the pin. The latter gave the collection its name (French "menottes" = handcuffs). We discovered the pin in Hamburg. It is in very good condition.
