Art Deco Siver & Marcasite Necklace by Theodor Fahrner

396 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

An unusual silver necklace made by Theodor Fahrner in the 1920s. Fahrner was trained as a steel engraver, and was one of the pioneers of designer jewellery. He had freelance artists (designers) with ideas prepared by him working for him. He managed to turn the largely insignificant ring factory of his father in to one of the most creative jewellery companies in Europe. The workshops were based in Pforzheim in the Black Forrest in Germany. This necklace is a good example of what Fahrner produced. It is composed of stylised leaves on stems set with graded marcasite (iron pyrites) Marcasite was used a lot at that time and serves to add a subtle glitter to this necklace. It is as wearable today as it was in the 1920s.
