"I'm not dressed without a tie pin" was a saying by Karl Lagerfeld, who is known to have had a special flair for fashion. As a stylish accessory, decorative pins can set a fashionable accent and be used as a distinguishing feature for the gentleman of the world, whether on a neckerchief, tie or lapel, which have become rare today. A single pearl, often in combination with diamonds, was always particularly popular as a trimming for jewellery pins. This piece is also in this classic form: at the tip of a pin made of high-carat red gold, we see a particularly beautiful, natural oriental pearl. The pearl has an even drop shape and a creamy white color with a wonderful luster. Six small rose-cut diamonds with a total weight of around 0.06 ct sparkle beneath it. The result is a timeless piece of jewelry with a character all of its own that is a testament to style and taste. A beautiful piece of jewelry history from the 1890s, suitable to be worn and admired immediately on the lapel or jacket, the tie or as a brooch. An independent expert opinion has confirmed the quality of the materials.

Natural pearls have always belonged in the art and curiosity chambers of Europe's rulers. The value of natural pearls compared to cultured pearls is obvious, as they are small natural wonders, just like natural gemstones. In the years around 1900, the price of natural pearls was roughly the same as that of diamonds of the same size and pearls for a necklace were usually purchased individually for reasons of cost and collected until a strand was gathered. The magic that emanates from natural pearls can hardly be put into words, as each natural pearl is different from the next and has its own luster, structure and lustre. They are always wonderfully unique pieces of nature - which are almost impossible to find today.
