In the late 1930s, a variation of Art Deco developed, particularly in Paris, which is known today as the "retro style". This new fashion differed from the cool diamond and platinum designs that had characterized the previous decade with warm gold tones and expansive geometric shapes. This new style soon spread throughout the western world; film stars such as Marlene Dietrich with her legendary ruby bracelet made it known worldwide. This bracelet also comes from this equally turbulent period. Crafted from gold, the piece is a series of twelve uniform elements reminiscent of belt buckles. The large arches are made of shiny rose gold, while the spikes are made of white gold. Here, six octagonal diamonds sparkle in white fire. A total of 0.90 carats of diamonds are combined on this glamorous design. According to the hallmark, the bracelet is the work of Ludwig Ballin's goldsmiths in Pforzheim. In October 1938, the Jewish Ballin was forced to sell his company to the company's authorized signatory as part of the so-called "Aryanization" process. In 1939, Ballin arranged to flee to Brazil, where he lived in Rio de Janeiro until 1958. However, the company continued to exist, initially under its old name and then from 1941 as Bäßler & Co. This unusual and artistically crafted piece of jewelry is in very good condition.
