Photos of Lagerfeld's Diamond Brooch Collection in link below:

Karl Lagerfeld’s trademark style—a sharply tailored black jacket, crisp white shirt, wide cravat and ponytail— made him an instantly recognizable icon in the world of fashion and beyond. His finishing flourish was often a natural diamond Suzanne Belperron brooch pinned on his necktie.

“What better way to adorn an austere mostly black outfit than vintage diamond jewelry, designed by the chicest woman in 1930 to 40s Paris,” said Frank Everett, Sotheby’s senior vice president and luxury sales director. “That is style, and that’s why he will always be The Kaiser of Fashion.”

Jewelry was always part of Lagerfeld’s signature flair. Sometimes it was a singular natural diamond brooch or tie pins on his lapel or necktie; other times he wore layers of chunky chain necklaces, heavy metal bracelets, or rings on every finger. His collection ranged from piles of silver Chrome Hearts rings and chains to important JAR pieces. From edgy designs to the classics, Lagerfeld also amassed iconic designs like Verdura’s Maltese cross brooches, David Webb jeweled animals, Cartier signature pieces and, of course, Chanel jewelry.

Lagerfeld is credited with making jeweled brooches a fashionable men’s accessory. Today, natural diamond pins are commonplace among A list celebrities on the red carpet and sports stars today.
