Have you recently suffered from exhaustion, tiredness or a dull lassitude?

Then the diagnosis may be zoom fatigue.

This is a phenomenon accompanying video conferencing in the home office that often lasts for hours - triggered by poor audio connections, a lack of eye contact with the other participants and facial expressions and gestures that can only be interpreted to a limited extent.

How, then, could one give particular emphasis to what was said?

Perhaps by communicating with jewelry.

Brooches are particularly suitable for this.

When pinned at chest level, they can be easily moved into the camera's field of view, from where they send subtle messages.

Take the Saturn brooch, for example, which is part of the new Haute Joaillerie collection from the French jewelry company Van Cleef & Arpels.

The most figurative piece of the line "Sous les étoiles" (in English: under the stars) was designed in the shape of the second largest planet in our solar system.

The characteristic rings, which, thanks to a filigree assembly, seem to float in space, gravitate around an irregularly diamond-studded hemisphere made of hammered yellow gold.

Like many of the company's jewelry, the brooch is variable and can also be clipped next to the ear as a hair clip.

This could create a somewhat positive atmosphere in the video conferences.

Because in the Roman Empire, Saturn was glorified as the ruler of the Golden Age.

In his honor, the Saturnalia was held once a year, a lavish festival with excessive drinking and eating.

If you are not familiar with this background knowledge, you could also fantasize something else into the Saturn brooch - for example an escape from the here and now to distant spheres in which no virus is circulating.

Of course, it is also possible that the participants in the video conference do not want to think about it at all when they see the precious piece of jewelry.

But even then, it should still have enough radiance to glare at digital exhaustion.
