1920s Jakob Bengel Necklace. – SOLD

1920s Jakob Bengel bakelite necklace has black and green galalith/bakelite geometric panels . These are linked together with chrome bars and tubes that form the chain. The black and green of the panels are 2 separate pieces that the Bengel factory fused together.  This necklace screams Art Deco not only in the colour but you can often find this type of design in the architecture of buildings across the world.

I have recently bought a collection from a collector of Jakob Bengel but this is another one that hasn’t been worn in the 50 years that she has had it.

Bengel pieces aren’t signed, sometimes they may have a mark on the clasp ring which reads – Guaranteed or Gesch but that is as much as I’ve ever seen.  I believe they did have swing tags, hence they were removed before wearing.

Size: 19 1/2″ long (end to end).  Main panel 1 1/4″ x 3/4″.

Date: 1920s

Condition: Excellent Vintage condition – slight wear to the chain at the back by the clasp
