"Fichus and berths [= collars to fold over] made of lace, chiffon, tulle or a similar airy fabric are essential for a cut-out formal dress. Pleats and gathers are fastened with decorative pins made of precious metal, as they are now made in a rich variety and in great diversity." - This is what the editors of the German magazine Schmuck und Mode recommended to a reader in August 1901. The brooch shown here may have helped the reader at the time. It is made as a narrow bar of platinum on gold, one end of which is set with a precious natural pearl. The other end is pointed. The resulting asymmetry would have looked particularly elegant when the first wearer of the brooch draped it at a slight angle on delicate French lace or silk chiffon. Nowadays, asymmetrical wand brooches of this type are also referred to as " magic wand brooches" due to their appearance. The piece of jewellery has been excellently preserved in its original case by the Lübeck goldsmith G. Schwartzkopf. It is crafted with great attention to detail and has a small spike between the showpiece and the pin, thanks to which it does not tilt. The brooch will also look wonderful on a lapel or scarf.
