Of way Wartski, the revered expert in Faberge and important historical gems,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has the definitive antique zentai tie pins: 2 charted by Queen Victoria (an for Albert and an commemorating the decease of John Brown). However, more of a repository than a jeweller,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Wartski was almost pained to be asked the price of Prince Albert's tie pin. "We tend to prevent bargains by Wartski," I was told. "When pieces have an historical worth we like to keep them."
The pearl was no merely lucky. It got praises from gentlemen in the Royal Enclosure, jockey Willie Carson and The Racing Post. Viewers sent in e-mails asking where it could be bought. Enchanted by the attention the pearl was spider costume obtaining, I failed to return it after Ascot and took the little companion on a jaunt to Florence and Milan for the biannual men's catwalk shows.
The pearl even had an audience with Giorgio Armani after his show. In a sloppy, fortuitous earth, Signor Armani believed it aggressive and bold to dress not only a tie but a jewelled pin.
Unlike the long, lethal tie pin, originally built to zentai bodysuit hold the shape of a cravat preferably than a tie (and influenced by hunting, keeping the cravat in location while your energetic aristo rode to the hunts via his Wiltshire estate), the tack is an ingenious little apparatus designed to be worn with a 20th-century tie. It goes by the same principle as a pierced pearl earring, only it is the tie rather than the lobe that is impaled. A safety chain-and-T-bar mechanism anchors either tack and tie -- slightly ruched below the tie -- to the shirt buttonhole.
Needless to say, I decided I couldn't live without it. Cue the 13th labour of Hercules. Zentai costume, Boucheron, Mikimoto, Asprey, Garrard, Graff, Chopard and David Morris could not supply my demand, whereas pearl emporium Mikimoto did attempt to replicate my father's pearl tie tack for $1,125.
When I inquired the ravishing male in Asprey as knot tacks, he laughed wistfully for if I had inquired as something for nostalgic as tiara resilient alternatively a snuff box and directed me to the old marts of the Burlington Arcade. Antique tie pins you tin purchase along the dozen, topped by pearls, diamonds and chips of onyx. They come as cameos, gold fox heads and enamel mermaids. I was about tempted by one Art Nouveau gold pin with an opal pate surrounded by emerald pieces ($1,350), yet it was distant also critical and unwieldy likened to Dad's dynamic mini jewelry tack.
