In the years 1910-1930, jabot pins were elegant and often elaborately decorated pieces of jewellery, used to fasten and decorate high, gathered shirt collars and jabots, which were particularly popular in women's and men's fashion at the beginning of the 20th century.

1910-1920: Edwardian and early modernism

At the beginning of the 20th century, jewellery still bore the influence of the Edwardian era (1901-1910), characterised by finesse and delicacy. Jabot pins were often made of platinum and gold, decorated with diamonds, pearls and filigree patterns inspired by Art Nouveau. The style was characterized by lace details, floral motifs and lightness of form.

During World War I (1914–1918), fashion became more practical, and jabots and their decorations gradually began to lose their importance. Jewellery became more modest, and jabot pins were less ornate, often made of cheaper materials due to resource constraints.

1920–1930: Art Deco era

The 1920s brought a radical change in fashion, which also influenced jewellery. The Art Deco style, which dominated this period, was characterized by geometric forms, symmetry and the use of contrasting materials.

Jabot pins during this period were often made of gold, silver, platinum and enamel. Geometric motifs, abstract patterns and contrasting colour combinations became popular, such as black onyxes combined with diamonds or rubies. Motifs inspired by ancient cultures, especially Egyptian (due to the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922), were also fashionable.

However, the fashion of the 1920s brought a significant change - women's outfits became more simple and casual, and jabots slowly fell out of use. Jabot pins, although still elegant, were worn less and less often and gave way to other types of jewellery, such as brooches, clips or long flapper necklaces.

By the end of the 1920s and early 1930s, jabot pins had already become rare, and their function was often taken over by other decorative elements of the wardrobe, reflecting the dynamic changes in fashion and lifestyle.
