The Art Déco era in Germany not only produced white, geometric jewels, but also pieces whose imaginative and sometimes bizarre shapes were inspired by Expressionism. This bracelet is just such a piece. The bracelet shows a design language that enjoyed great popularity in Germany from the 1920s until the middle of the century. Here, however, the lines are still clearly oriented towards Expressionism, with jagged, dynamic lines and wildly proliferating plant forms. Such bizarre, abstracted natural forms can be found not only in the jewellery of those years, but in all the arts: compare, for example, the grilles and decorative paintings of the Renaissance Theater in Berlin, rebuilt in 1926/28, or the Grassi Museum in Leipzig, 1926/27. Here, the plant shapes are placed on the oval links made of gold. Individually shaped leaf ornaments each frame a small diamond. The highlight of the bracelet is a group of three beautiful old-cut diamonds. These are visually enhanced by delicate and wide, concave frames. In total, the pieces of jewellery present over two carats of diamonds in various historical cuts. The hallmark confirms that the handcrafted bracelet was created in the Henry Allerdings goldsmiths in Hamburg. We discovered the well-preserved piece here in Berlin.
