In an era in which the progress of technology met the elegance of fashion, a piece of jewellery was created that still makes the hearts of Art Deco lovers and fashionistas beat faster today. We are talking about an exquisite necklace, probably from the house of Jakob Bengel, a masterpiece that was made in the 1930s in Idar-Oberstein, the heart of the German jewellery industry. This necklace is not just an accessory, but a tribute to the machine age, a time when chrome, glass and galalith were the materials of choice and opened up new dimensions of aesthetics.
The design of this necklace is characterised by an avant-garde vision that interprets the Art Deco style in a way that fascinates both then and now. The silver-coloured chrome link chain serves as the basis for the actual highlight: three generously dimensioned, marbled green Galalith elements. These are eye-catching not only because of their abstract design, but also because of the attached triangular pyramids in accentuated shades of brown, which emphasise the characteristic Machine Age/Deco look.
Jakob Bengel, known for his innovative approach to fashion jewellery, has created a piece of wearable art with this necklace that captures the zeitgeist of an entire era. The combination of the boldness of chrome and the warmth of galalith creates a contrast that makes the necklace an unrivalled statement piece. It is perfect for elegant occasions where it not only complements an outfit, but gives it a story all of its own.
The condition of this necklace can be described as excellent, making it an absolute must-have for collectors of Art Deco jewellery.
