Alle Auktionen / Schmuck und Edelsteine / Timeless Brooch With Dark Tahitian Pearl & Diamonds, c. 2010
In the crystal-clear waters of the tropical warm lagoons of the South Seas grows the black-lipped oyster, Pinctada margaritifera: only this shell produces the sought-after dark grey to black pearls known and prized as Tahitian pearls. Japanese pearl cultivation experts attempted to farm black pearls on Bora Bora as early as the 1960s. However, it was not until the 1990s that black cultured pearls from Tahiti became widely available worldwide. The brooch presented here, recently created, features a precious dark Tahitian cultured pearl. The large pearl, with a greenish-grey base colour and a subtle violet-rosy overtone, sits at the centre of white gold petals that sparkle in the light of countless brilliant-cut diamonds. A total of 202 diamonds, weighing approximately 4.64 carats altogether, bathe the white gold brooch in a cool light. The design of the brooch and the mounting with a double pin are inspired by mid-century models: it evokes the timeless glamour of the 1950s and early 1960s. The brooch was made 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 and the beginning of the 2010s, pop culture embraced glamorous mid-century style: Louis Vuitton’s Autumn/Winter 2010/11 fashion campaigns were almost cinematic, inspired by the elegant style of the 1950s. Films by Wes Anderson and Tom Ford’s "A Single Man" were dressed in the fashion of the Sixties. Dita Von Teese revived vintage waves and red lipstick, and even pop stars like Christina Aguilera reinvented themselves in the style of Marilyn Monroe. Lana Del Rey became an overnight sensation in 2011 with "Video Games", whose nostalgic music video was compiled from old films. Just as timeless and glamorous as its mid-century inspirations is this brooch. It is accompanied by an independent gemmological certificate. The brooch reached us from a very high-quality collection in Hamburg.
