Theodor Fahrner made art jewelry affordable by combining modern forms with democratic materials. He did not create individual pieces for a small elite like Lalique or Cartier, but instead produced the designs in series in silver, decorated with enamel, marcasites and occasionally precious stones. Jewellers and department stores throughout Europe sold the jewellery, which Fahrner advertised extensively in journals and magazines: "Fahrner Schmuck - nach Entwürfen bester Künstler" (Fahrner jewellery - designed by the best artists) allowed every woman to participate in a modern life full of beauty. This bracelet is from the "Filigree Jewelry" series, which was developed in 1932 and was based on ancient Germanic detailed forms. Fine twisted wires cover the top of the bracelet's links, which are designed in the same way and are reminiscent of Germanic round shields. They gave the "filigree jewelry series" its name. A wonderful overview of the wealth of designs can be found in the catalog Theodor Fahrner. Schmuck zwischen Avantgarde und Tradition, edited by Brigitte Leonhardt and Dieter Zühlsdorff, Stuttgart 2005, where the present series can be found on p. 226f. The bracelet is made of silver that has been lightly gilded. Fahrner calls this type of gilding "antique gilding". It has a cool, slightly greenish-golden tone, which makes it easy to recognize Fahrner jewelry. Red gold-plated crossbars divide the links in the middle and add a further color accent. The bracelet was probably made from the old molds during the post-war reconstruction years. This is indicated by the 925/000 fineness of the silver used instead of the 935/000 silver usually used before the war. Fahrner jewellery is often collected.
