Big breast bow from the jewelery of the queens, Christian August Globig (before 1747-1798), jeweler. Dresden, 1782. 51 large and 611 small diamonds, silver, gold. B. 21.4 cm, H. 12.5 cm, T. 5.0 cm. Green Vault, VIII 36. © Dresden State Art Collections.

Jewelry loops of this kind, which were worn below the neckline, served until the time around 1800 as courtly ladies' jewelery. In 1782 Elector Friedrich August III. make the breast loop with unusually rich diamond trimming for his wife Amalie Auguste. The present, which probably originated on the occasion of the birth of her first child, was assigned to the official decorative jewelery of the house Wettin and thus part of the Green Vault. For the production one resorted to diamonds, which came from 27 rock buttons and 12 Westenknöpfen as well as further pieces of jewelery of the traditional Brillantgarnitur. The breast loop is shaped as a plastically worked, seemingly gathered band with drooping end pieces. The center of the wide piece of jewelry is the, in his original caste version preserved, button set of brilliant set. Overall, the loop is set with 51 large and 611 medium to small diamonds. The total weight of diamonds used is about 614 carats. The magnificent chest bow weighs 556 g, which certainly limits the wearing comfort as jewelry. But even by Queen Carola of Saxony, the chest bow was occasionally worn in the 70s and 80s of the 19th century to courtly events.
