Today it is hardly part of the repertoire of modern goldsmiths and jewelers. But once the bar brooch was one of the most popular pieces of jewellery of the early 20th century and was found in the jewellery wardrobe of every distinguished lady. From specimens for the day, in gold and set with pearls or colorful gemstones, to quality diamond pins for the evening - the stick brooch took many forms. The present specimen is small, yet choice. A white diamond with only tiny inclusions adorns the center of the pin. It is designed in the so-called transitional cut, which, according to its name, denotes the transition from the old cut to the modern brilliant cut. This allows us to date the pin even more precisely. The diamond is set in white gold, which was a fairly new precious metal at the time. It was not until 1912 that the German company Dr. Richter & Cie. from Pforzheim succeeded in producing white gold - the so-called "white gold Dorico", a small sensation in its time. Its invention had become necessary because of the high prices of platinum while the popularity of white jewels remained the same. "White is the watchword today, white is fashion," the Leipzig watchmaker's newspaper said of the new white gold in 1912. Once quite on the pulse of the times, the beautiful jewel is now surprisingly timeless. It came to us from a large German collection and was probably once made in Germany.
