Jakob Bengel Deco Necklace

Jakob Bengel 1920s/1930s chrome with black and red galalith (french bakelite) necklace.  This necklace has a black and red galalith panel in the centre circle.  You will see from the reverse that this panel is attached by two tiny screws which is typical of Jakob Bengel jewellery, and can sometimes be used as a marker that this is an original piece.  The necklace has three chrome triangular concave panels and then a fine chrome chain.

Please see the other Jakob Bengel pieces I currently have on the website.  I also have other JB items that not on the website i.e. brooches and dress clips so please email me if you would like to view.

Bengel pieces aren’t signed, the design is his signature, sometimes they may have a mark on the ring that the clasp attaches to 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.

Please be confident in buying, I do not sell reproduction jewellery, these pieces are from a collector of Jakob Bengel who collected in the 1970s.
