Today, it is hardly part of the repertoire of modern goldsmiths and jewelers. However, the bar brooch was once one of the most popular pieces of jewelry of the early 20th century and could be found in the jewelry wardrobe of every distinguished lady. From daytime pieces in gold and set with pearls or colorful gemstones to high-quality diamond pins for the evening - the bar brooch took many forms. This example is small, but special. Three white diamonds adorn the diamond-shaped center of the pin. The old-cut center stone is flanked by two smaller octagonal cuts. While the diamonds are set in platinum, the surfaces of the bars are covered in white gold. White gold was a completely new precious metal at the beginning of the 20th century. It was not until 1912 that the German company Dr. Richter & Cie. from Pforzheim succeeded in producing white gold - the so-called "White Gold Dorico", a minor sensation in its day. Our brooch was made in Great Britain only a little later, around 1925. This is indicated by the typical British fineness of 15 carats, which was only used until 1932. Once very much in tune with the times, this beautiful piece of jewelry is surprisingly timeless today. It came to us from Hamburg.
