Art Deco jewelry designs are usually abstract and non-representational. Here, however, we think we recognize something very concrete: The trident of Neptune, the god of the sea, who was apparently successful in his hunt for treasure and was able to find a pearl. The brooch, a typical elongated pin of the time, is made of white gold and set with small sparkling diamonds. The showpiece is geometrically designed, with a small pair of leaves set between two prongs on the right and left, from which the pearl emerges. Or is something impaled here? An apple or a mysterious, submarine fruit? Or a heart at the end? The pearl used here is a natural blister pearl, probably from the Persian Gulf. Blister pearls are pearls that have grown onto the shell of the mussel from the inside, but are of natural origin. These usually somewhat bizarrely shaped pearls can also be cultivated today by inserting a plastic hemisphere between the shell of the mussel and the tissue of the animal. They are then called mabé pearls. In this unusual piece of jewelry, a natural pearl has been used. We discovered this beautiful and rare pin in Stuttgart. It is in very good condition and we date it to around 1925.
