The names Doublé, in English "rolled gold" in Dutch "gewalst goud" and in French "laminé", were legally protected by the Reichsgericht ruling of 21.12.1923; it may not be used for goods whose gold plating was produced by another process, for example galvanic gold plating.
In 1900 double gold "Doublé" was reintroduced using a new process: first two metal tombac plates were pressed together, followed by a silver layer, after which two more thin layers of gold were pressed on.
The pressed plates were then sent to the ateliers to be used for jewelry manufacture.
The jewelry was then beautifully polished, with the guarantee that they would retain their golden shine for life, as witnessed by this brooch!
Jewelry of this quality is nowadays still rarely found!
Photos are enlarged; check the specifications for dimensions!
The brooch will be lightly cleaned before shipping and sent in a gift box by registered mail with tracking and insurance.
Customs duties are for the buyer."
