Large Bar Brooch With Natural Pearls & Diamonds in Platinum, ca. 1910

Luxury, joie de vivre and the celebration of beauty were the ideal of the years around 1900: the Belle Époque revelled in wealth and glamour. The world's most beautiful dancers danced at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, the society couples met on the Ringstrasse in Vienna, and the ladies' diamonds shone brightly at the balls in the elegant hotels on Unter den Linden in Berlin. This bar brooch speaks the elegant design language of the years shortly after 1900. Made of platinum, it is decorated with a rich setting of diamonds and eleven genuine oriental pearls. The range of colours of the pearls is remarkable: their hues range from rosy grey to delicate shades of violet. The pearls sit in a shimmering row in the centre of the brooch and their arrangement emphasises the linear shape of the elegant pin. Milgrains further accentuate the beauty of the materials through light reflections; the precious platinum luster of the orient pearls harmonizes wonderfully with the 26 sparkling diamonds. The result is an exemplary white jewel, a particularly beautifully and sumptuously appointed brooch in the best condition and workmanship.
