About the Item

Excellent
The Details...
This locket is constructed from silver. The bail is stamped with the Martin Mayer mark (a wheel with a star above it, flanked by 2 m's) and 2 indecipherable hallmarks. The jump ring is then stamped with '935' and what could possibly be a dragonfly stamp - this is the mark of the Meyle and Mayer factory, which could indicate that the 2 German companies collaborated or that the jump ring is from a separate Meyle and Mayer piece. The locket is circular and large in shape and detailed with a pale yellow Guilloché enamel front and back. The front of the locket features enamelled floral swag motifs with gold scrolled accents. The locket opens and closes well to reveal 2 compartments with clear plastic covers so that tokens or photographs can be placed in both sections. The diameter of the locket is 3.5cm.
A Short History...
This locket is a lovely example of garland style jewellery from the early 20th century. Designs were typified by ribbons, laurel wreaths, bows, swags, knots and tassels creating soft, dripping lines in jewels that had previously been quite structured. The garland style borrowed motifs from 18th century jewellery design and injected them with greater fluidity of line. The Martin Mayer factory was established in Mayence, Germany, in 1887. In 1939, the firm was dissolved. In their relatively short time in business, they produced some beautiful pieces evocative of the design movements occurring during the times they were constructed. Mayer jewels are therefore sought after by collectors and those passionate about 19th and 20th century design.

A Short History...
The term Jugendstil, meaning "Young Style," was derived from the magazine Die Jugend and describes an art and design movement which took place in Germany from c.1896 through to c.1915. Taking place at the same time as the Art Nouveau movement, which was inspired by the natural world, Jugendstil was also heavily influenced by organic shapes but contrasted them with geometric forms resulting in very stylised designs. Important Jugendstil jewellery designers were Carl Herman, Meyle and Mayer...
