Two Art deco Necklaces in the Style of Jakob Bengel
metal and plastic (presumably Galalith), in very good age-appropriate condition, 1) Necklace with centrally mounted flat, geometric links made of olive green and beige Galalith, interspersed with silver-colored metal bead elements, flanked on both sides by cylindrical and spherical chain segments with spring ring clasp, length approx. 58 cm, 2) Necklace with irregularly shaped Galalith elements in ochre and olive tones, formed as cylinders and rhombuses, accentuated at the center by a prominent metal appliqué, combined with silver-colored bead links and a curb chain made of metal, spring ring clasp, length approx. 49.5 cm
Both necklaces can be stylistically attributed to the Art Deco jewelry production of the 1930s, particularly developed by the Jakob Bengel manufactory in Idar-Oberstein. The characteristic design elements – geometric forms, contrasts between metallic shine and matte plastic surfaces, and the use of Galalith – are clearly reflected in these pieces, even though no maker’s mark is present. Such designs expressed a modern, avant-garde approach to jewelry during the interwar period and are now considered sought-after collectibles of early 20th-century design.
