Only rarely does antique jewellery reveal the details of its origin. In most cases, the story of a fine piece has been lost over the years, told a little differently from owner to owner or even forgotten. A little context can always be restored by knowing the history of the jewellery. In the case of this brooch, a practiced eye reveals that the fine piece was created in Great Britain around 1900. This provides a starting point for research - and indeed: the beautiful piece is illustrated on page 27 of the 1899 Goldsmith's & Silversmith's Company catalogue. The brooch, described in the catalogue as a "Fine Pearl Ornamented Crescent", is the second most expensive piece of jewellery on the page, probably due to the fact that large, beautiful pearls had risen sharply in price shortly before. In the shape of a crescent, slightly varied by floral ornamentation, the design was in keeping with the times. Goldsmith's & Silversmith's Company was one of London's leading jewelers at the time. The company ran its showroom on London's noble Regent Street and sold small and large treasures according to the latest taste. But the sophisticated lady of the world could also order her jewellery directly from the catalogue without leaving the house: At the time, this convenient way of buying jewellery was a novelty that had only existed for a few years. The brooch is in excellent condition. A small stroke of luck!

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.
