Theodor Fahrner made artists' jewelry affordable because he combined modern forms with democratic materials. Salesmen with large sample cases presented the innovations developed in Pforzheim to local jewelers every year. One such sample case, full of unworn Fahrner jewelry, had lain untouched in an attic for the last 40 years or more until it was offered to us. It contained samples of almost every series from about 1919 until the company's dissolution in 1979, most with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. The brooch here is therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. The brooch shows in the form of curved ribbons, the surface of which is designed in a fine check pattern. The piece of jewelry is made of silver that was mostly gold plated. It was probably made in the 1950s and bears the original Fahrner seal as well as an original label. A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs can be found in the catalog "Theodor Fahrner. Jewellery between Avantgarde and Tradition", edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005. Discover all the other pieces of Fahrner jewelry we offer at this site.

"The beauty of clothing is enhanced to an extraordinary degree by the distinctive effect of Fahrner jewellery. No lady of taste will want to do without it in the future." (From a brochure of the company Theodor Fahrner from the 1920s)
