Description

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. Every year, traveling salesmen with large sample cases presented the new products developed in Pforzheim to local jewelers. One such Fahrner sample case full of unworn pieces of Fahrner jewelry had been slumbering untouched in an attic for more than 40 years until it was offered to us. It contained samples of almost all series from around 1919 until the company was dissolved in 1979, most of them with a model number or the "Original Fahrner" seal. This ring also comes from this collection and is therefore unworn and in perfect condition. The round ring face is curved downwards in the center. A pearl is set in the center of radiant ornaments. It is an Akoya pearl, a cultured pearl from the sea, whose warm lustre is accompanied by cool, sparkling marcasites. The ring is made of silver, most of which is lightly gold-plated, and was most likely made in the 1950s. 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.
