As big and rich as the world of jewellery is - for men there are only a few objects that can be harmonized with a classic wardrobe. A ring is opportune, cufflinks too, of course. But after that, it quickly becomes difficult to maintain the balance between individuality and good taste. The pin, in earlier times worn on the plastron or tie, is one of the few classic options here. Today also worn on the lapel, it can accompany the formal wardrobe as well as the rather less formal suit or a casually worn jacket. Here now is a small collection of five golden pins, which were created in the last years of the 19th century. The needles show different showpieces. The oldest needle is from Victorian England and presents a round showpiece with a small diamond rose. Further we see a pin with beautiful garnets, a pin with sky blue sapphire and another pin with two small red spinels. The last mentioned gemstones are early syntheses. The largest needle in the small collection is particularly decorative. This one presents a large round showpiece. Four opals frame an enameled center field with a coat of arms. It is the old coat of arms of the city of Mönchengladbach, which was used until 1974. An engraving on the reverse reveals that the pin was once presented for 25 years of faithful service to the Freiherr Friedrich von Diergardt Foundation. Friedrich von Diergardt (* March 25, 1795 in Moers; † May 3, 1869 in Morsbroich) was a Rhenish industrialist and silk manufacturer and established this foundation in 1868 "for the support of needy and bashful poor people." The needles are all in very nice condition. They have reached us together and we have therefore decided to offer them together.
