It's loud, fast and furious: traffic rushes across Potsdamer Platz in the slowly fading evening light. The traffic lights in the middle of the square, the first traffic lights in Germany, turn red - the waiting people stream across the streets, past the waiting cars, laughing, running, jostling, and filling the many large bars and restaurants around them. The neon signs on the buildings begin to glow, a jazz band plays from afar. Berlin in the interwar period was a cosmopolitan city, for a brief moment a melting pot of cultures, a New York of Europe. This extremely elegant bracelet comes from this environment. The narrow band is made of gold, the surface of which is entirely covered in light platinum. The narrow openwork links hold a diamond-set showpiece in the middle. A beautiful old European cut diamond sparkles at its center, set in a hexagonal carré setting. A surrounding shadow gap separates it from a hexagonal frame. To the right and left, two elongated links flank the center stone and each feature a smaller old cut and four diamond roses. Graphic saw work and milgrains in the Art Deco style break up the shape and give the piece of jewellery a lightness reminiscent of textile lace. The maker's mark "XX" attributes the piece of jewellery to the Berlin jeweler Wilhelm Müller, who had his headquarters in Gertraudenstraße in Berlin Mitte. In the lively city of Berlin, designers such as Müller responded to the rapidly changing fashion trends of the "jeunesse dorée" of those years with their high-quality and contemporary designs, creating exciting new creations that have survived to this day.
