SALE PENDING Lovely Chrome and Galalith Jakob Bengel Necklace

Jewelry : Vintage : 1930s-1940s

 

A very well crafted Jakob Bengel necklace. This beautiful item is composed of a unique chrome metal that makes up the cylindrical links as well as the hollowed out cylindrical tubes. These chrome metal links and tubes are spaced by chrome balls that measure 6mm in diameter and lead down to the centerpiece design. This centerpiece is made up of tear drop shaped pieces of galalith that are spaced by chrome metal balls. There are three cream colored tear shaped pieces of galalith and two light brown pieces that have chrome metal balls between them measuring 10.5mm in diameter. These pieces are strung onto what I believe is a silver metal chain and the necklace is fastened with a lovely spring ring clasp that holds great. The necklace measures 19 1/8" long with the tear drop shaped pieces of galalith being 1 1/2" in length. This item is not signed, as most Bengel pieces had no signature, but the design and composition leaves no question as to who made it. A wonderful chrome and galalith Jakob Bengel necklace.
