[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3716792, member: 2844"]It is a classic German Art Deco bracelet, 1920s. I love the style. At the time Germany was in a financial crisis due to having to pay war reparations on top of having to rebuild the country after WW I. German jewellery manufacturers cut down on the use of precious metals, because their customers could no longer afford it. So they produced lightweight items, but still used their wonderful techniques to make sure the quality was as good as possible. It was also a time when German designers began to use more non-precious materials in designer jewellery, like aluminium, chrome and galalith.[/QUOTE]
