Fahrner jewellery from Pforzheim was also a household name during the period of reconstruction after 1945. In the 1960s, silver, which is easy to work, was the most popular material. Interesting and unusual structures, daring volumes and expressive reliefs were in demand. "Textures fascinate craftsmen today more than ever before," wrote Graham Hughes in "Modern Jewelry," London 1963. The brooch presented here is a fine example of this. It appears as a center-mirrored arch shape with polished and textured surfaces. Two pearls are set on the brooch and charge it with tension. Due to the handcrafted nature of the design, the brooch looks like a hand-forged unique piece. Since the early years of the company, travelling salesmen with large sample cases had presented the new products developed in Pforzheim to local jewellers every year. One such sample case had lain untouched in an attic for the last 40 years or more until it was offered to us. It contained samples of almost all series from about 1919 until the dissolution of the company in 1979, mostly marked with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. The 1960s gem we have here comes from this sample case and is therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. Fahrner jewellery is readily collected.

Jewellery between avant-garde and tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005.
