Bauhaus ideas and designs were quickly adopted by silversmiths in the region starting around 1928.
Convincing modernist jewelry in the style of the 'Nieuwe Objectiviteit' emerged, showcasing a complete departure from classical jewelry and produced until the end of the 1940s.
The jewelry was characterized by geometric shapes such as balls, cones, squares, loops, and spirals. A beautiful example is this pendant from that period!
