介绍（中）	这枚胸针镶有一颗方形阶梯式切割的大祖母绿，圆角环绕着两个同心椭圆形框架，分别是圆形、马眼形和梨形明亮式切割钻石。宝石像花环一样排列在薄铂金表圈中，并带有千粒细节。作品背面的发现使其可以作为胸针或吊坠佩戴。这件和其他在 20 世纪之交流行的"花环风格"作品的精致外观依赖于铂金的先进使用，铂金在制造这枚胸针时是一种新获得的材料。虽然没有标记，但这件作品可能是由纽约珠宝商蒂芙尼公司制造的。Tiffany & Co.的第一次迭代于1837年在纽约市成立，专门从事文具和花式商品。到 1900 年代初，大约在这枚胸针制作时，蒂芙尼公司已成为镀金时代精英最喜欢的购物目的地，在伦敦和巴黎设有分店。
介绍（英）	This brooch features a large, square, step-cut emerald with rounded corners ringed by two concentric oval frames of round, marquis, and pear-shaped brilliant-cut diamonds. The gems are arranged like garlands in thin platinum bezels with millegrain detailing. Findings on the back of the piece allow it to be worn as either a brooch or a pendant. The delicate appearance of this and other "garland style" pieces popular around the turn of the twentieth century relied on the advanced use of platinum, which was a newly accessible material at the time of this brooch’s manufacture. Although unmarked, this piece was possibly made by New York-based jewelers Tiffany & Co. The first iteration of Tiffany & Co. was founded in New York City in 1837 and specialized in stationary and fancy goods. By the early 1900s, around the time this brooch was made, Tiffany & Co had become a favorite shopping destination of the Gilded Age elite, with branches in London and Paris.
