The German jewellery manufacturer Theodor Fahrner made artists' jewellery affordable as early as 1900, because he combined modern forms with democratic materials. He did not create individual pieces for a small elite, as was the case with Lalique or Cartier. Instead, the designs were mass-produced in silver, decorated with enamel, marcasites, and occasionally precious stones. Jewelers and department stores throughout Europe sold the jewellery, which Fahrner advertised extensively in journals and magazines: "Fahrner jewellery - based on designs by the best artists" allowed every woman to participate in a modern life full of beauty. But even in the post-war period, Fahrner jewellery remained a household name. The company always followed the latest fashions, which were translated into affordable materials and consistently high quality. Travelling salesmen with large sample cases then presented the new products developed in Pforzheim to the local dealers every year. One such sample case had lain untouched in an attic for the last 40 years or more until we were allowed to discover it. It contained samples of all series from about 1919 until the dissolution of the company in 1979, mostly with a model number and marked with the "Original Fahrner" seal. The earclips here are therefore unworn and perfectly preserved. The curved clips are in line with the modernist taste of the 1960s, which was characterized by abstract shapes and textured metals. A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs can be found in the catalogue "Theodor Fahrner. Jewellery between Avant-Garde and Tradition," edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005. Discover all the other pieces of Fahrner jewellery we offer at this site.
