- About Us
A brilliant piece of 1950s West German costume jewellery, made from oversized white moulded beads with a deeply ribbed, almost shell-like surface.
Finished with its original gold-tone hook clasp, clearly stamped WESTERN GERMANY.
Graphic, sculptural. A particularly good example of the bold plastic jewellery being produced in West Germany during the post-war period.
