Description

The first years of the young Federal Republic of Germany experienced a previously unseen increase in wealth and quality of life with the economic miracle. After the worries of the war years, the store windows shone with new luxury, and jewellery and watches also served to visibly display the new joie de vivre to the outside world. Beautiful, heavy gold jewelry in particular became the focus of attention. Here we see a beautiful bangle from this period: The simple bangle features decoratively engraved tendril and leaf ornaments on its surface. This is a form of engraving developed in Vienna, known in art history as Viennese freehand engraving. It is borrowed from the formal language of the Renaissance and mainly shows antique motifs such as acanthus leaves or scrollwork. In the 1950s in particular, German jewelry designers drew on these models from the past in their creations. It is the artistic design of the engraving in particular that makes this bangle so attractive. It is beautifully executed and sits well on the arm: a fine piece in excellent condition.
