The black-lipped oyster "Pinctada margaritifera" grows in the crystal-clear waters of the tropically warm lagoons of the South Seas: only this mollusk produces the coveted dark gray to black pearls known and prized as Tahitian pearls. Japanese experts in pearl cultivation therefore attempted to cultivate black pearls on Bora Bora as early as the 1960s. But it wasn't until the 1990s that Tahitian cultured black pearls became available worldwide. The brooch presented here, which was created recently, also presents a dark Tahitian cultured pearl as its precious centrepiece. The large pearl of greenish-gray ground color with light violet-pink luster lies nestled in the middle of white-gold petals, which glitter in the light of countless diamonds. A total of 202 diamonds comprising about 4.64 ct bathe the white gold brooch in a cool light. The design of the brooch and also the mounting with double pin follow models of the Midcentury: one thinks of the timeless glamour of the 1950s or early 1960s. The brooch was created in recent years, as evidenced by the use of the Tahitian cultured pearl. It was probably created around 2010. Do you remember? Towards the end of the 2000s, beginning of the 2010s, pop culture became infatuated with the glamorous Midcentury: fashion campaigns of Louis Vuitton for the fall/winter 2010/11 were almost cinematic, inspired by the elegant style of the 1950s. The films of Wes Anderson or Tom Ford's "A Single Man" showed themselves in the garb of the Sixties. Dita von Teese made vintage pincurls and red lipstick popular again, and even pop stars like Christina Aguilera reinvented themselves in the style of Marilyn Monroe. Lana Del Rey became famous overnight in 2011 with "Video Games," whose nostalgic music video was cut together from old movies. The brooch is just as timeless and glamorous as her Midcentury role models. It is accompanied by an independent gemological appraisal. We received the brooch from a very high quality Hamburg collection.
