About the Item

Berlin iron jewelry was produced in Germany by the Berlin Royal Foundry beginning in 1804. However, it reached a high point of popularity between 1813 and 1819. To fund the War of Liberation against Napolean, citizens were asked to donate their precious gold in exchange for iron jewelry It was the Prussian royal foundries that launched this daring and eccentric collection of black iron jewelry. If this metal has survived the years so well, it is because it is in fact an alloy of iron and carbon then covered with a layer of black lacquer and waxed/patinated for a bright appearance and to protect against oxidation.
