A 19th century Chinese jabot pin set with amethyst beads into silver and enamel, circa 1890
A jabot pin is a brooch with a bejeweled motif at either end. It is pinned in such a way that only the decorative ends are seen, allowing the fabric to show.
Originally jabot pins were decorative accessories used to fasten a jabot, a frilled or ruffled neckpiece worn in the 17th and 18th centuries. Typically crafted from metals like gold or silver, they often feature intricate designs and gemstones. Jabot pins add a touch of elegance and historical charm to formal attire.
