The years around 1845 marked a period of profound upheaval. Population growth, the onset of industrialization and social imbalances exacerbated the living conditions of many people. Traditional economic and social systems came under pressure, while new ideas of freedom, co-determination and national unity became increasingly widespread. A new formal language also made itself felt in bourgeois jewellery, which did not copy the courtly jewellery of the ancien régime, but instead confidently flaunted bourgeois prosperity. The present bangle was created in those years. It was made from warm, shimmering gold, the surface of which is finely engraved and sculpted. A slightly curved element rises in the center. A natural pearl lies there like a drop of light, flanked by two square-cut amethysts. The stones are framed by delicate, ogival ornaments. The combination of sculpted and engraved elements is typical of the period. A similarly designed hoop from around 1845, but with a different setting, can be found, for example, in Brigitte Marquardt: Schmuck. Classicism and Biedermeier, 1780-1850, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Munich 1983, p. 215. The bangle came to us here in Berlin.
