A stunning, Art Deco pin with an ornametal, fan-shaped jabot motif on both ends of a platinum silver pin, displayed vertically. The smaller decorative element on the top is of a soft triangular shape filled with diamonds, punctuated with a horizontal onyx band. Below the triangle is a fan of kernel-shaped white quartz centered around a similarly shaped setting of two round-cut diamonds, surrounding a rectangular, emerald cut diamond. The larger, lower decorative element features an emerald cut diamond atop a column of parallel diamonds which widens to surround a pear-cut diamond near the bottom. Echoing the smaller element, a curved, horizontal onyx collar encircles the line of diamonds, from which elongated white quartz drapes fan downward, four on each side of the column. The piece is evocative of a small hat atop a graceful figure, wearing a sparkling jabot collar in a classic, yet brilliant, black and white.

Jabot Pin, 1925–30
diamonds, platinum, rock crystal (quartz), chalcedony (onyx).
Lent by Tiffany and Company, Archives, A1999.28.

This object was made by Tiffany and Co..

Set of jewelry displayed on a flat white background. It features two necklaces and two bracelets. The jewelry is made out of gold alloy with dashes of blue, green, and black lacquer creating a striped pattern. The necklaces are positioned on the upper right side. One of the necklaces is smaller in circumference and is positioned within the larger one in the photo creating double rings. The bracelets are positioned to the right of the necklace - one lower than the other. The bracelets are positioned separately not like the necklaces. The shapes are similar, having one slightly smaller than the other. All pieces are rigid. The necklaces have hook-fasten clasps that seamlessly blend.
