ABOUT THIS STYLE:
These types of pieces were strongly influenced by the German Bauhaus movement of the early 20th Century. This movement emphasized a balance of aesthetics, technical merit, and utility (function over form). Architecture was celebrated as an art form, through a representation of strong geometric (and sometimes articulated) design. We think it was brilliant to include jewelry in this expression of style. Sadly, many were paper-tagged at the time, or unmarked. We must let each piece speak for itself - perhaps this one is speaking directly to YOU.
Many of the designs are attributed to the Jakob Bengel Company of Germany, in the 1930s. A talented and creative machinist,Fredrick Jakob Bengel started his watch-fob company in 1873. Although Jakob died in 1921, his family maintained the success. The company evolved into the design and manufacturing of this stunning jewelry. They were a wholesaler, and the various pieces were distributed throughout Germany, France, UK, and possibly the USA.
