Jewellery and dress fashion have always been mutually dependent. In the Rococo period, this was very obvious when diamond ornaments were sewn onto court dresses. But certain forms of jewelry also came into fashion in later times, or were only created because the dress styles of the time required it. The high collars of the dresses of the 1880s and 1890s, for example, meant that brooches became very popular. Where pendants, necklaces or long earrings would have got caught in the lace collars, brooches could be worn wonderfully. This piece is a collar brooch of the kind that adorned a lady's high-cut dress at the end of the 19th century. The design is in the form of two intertwined circles. Made from gold, the piece of jewelry is set with bands of blue sapphires and white diamond roses. Three shimmering natural pearls enliven the composition. The brooch is in very good condition. We discovered it here in Berlin. Its hallmark reveals that it was made in Martin Mayer's costume jewelry factory in Pforzheim. Similar designs came into fashion in Paris in the mid-1880s (see the last illustration).
