This bangle from the 1920s impresses with the elegant clarity of its design. In the center, the bangle widens into a gently curved showpiece that presents eight sparkling diamonds in historic cuts. The two largest stones in the Old European Cut have a combined weight of around 1.28 carats and are set in simple square settings. On either side, three smaller diamonds lead harmoniously to the shiny polished hoop and lend the design a balanced symmetry. The pieces of jewellery are crafted from 14-karat white gold, while the diamond-set centerpiece is doubled in platinum. This combination of materials was particularly popular during the Art Deco period, as the platinum effectively emphasizes the brilliance of the diamonds and also allows the settings to be finely crafted. However, it is not only the front of the bangle that reveals its special charm. The side areas have also been designed with great care: Circumferential engravings show fine vegetal tendril ornaments, which lend the piece of jewellery an additional layer of handcrafted sophistication. These details usually remain hidden when worn and only reveal themselves to the attentive observer - a beautiful example of the attention to detail with which high-quality jewellery of this period was made. The bangle came to us here in Berlin. According to the hallmark, it was made by the Zerrenner company in Pforzheim, the most important center of German jewelry production. The piece of jewellery combines the clear elegance of Art Deco with high-quality German goldsmithing and has survived to this day in remarkably beautiful condition.

The company F. Zerrenner was one of Pforzheim's traditional jewelry manufacturers. Its roots go back to 1843, when Carl Zerrenner founded a goldsmith's shop in Pforzheim, which later became the F. Zerrenner goldware factory. Ferdinand Zerrenner, jewelry manufacturer and later President of the Chamber of Commerce in Pforzheim, also stands for the close connection between the family and the city's flourishing jewelry industry. The pieces show the combination of industrial Pforzheim precision and artistic craftsmanship that played a key role in shaping the reputation of the "City of Gold" around 1900.
