Precious Pin with Natural Oriental Pearl & Diamonds in Gold, Circa 1890

"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, whether on a neckerchief, tie or lapel, which have become rare today. In the late 19th century, a wide variety of such pins were created. A single pearl, often in combination with diamonds, was always particularly popular. 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 colour. The pearl is held in place by a flower of diamonds in silver. The pin has been preserved in an antique case from the jeweller Hermann Jürgens from Darmstadt. The pin is delivered together with an independent expert opinion on the materials of the pin: above all, it confirms the natural origin of the pearl. A beautiful piece of jewellery history from the late 19th century, suitable to be worn and admired immediately on the lapel or jacket, the tie or as a brooch.
