Vintage Jakob Bengel style Art Deco machine age gold and silver tone stacked cup bead geometric choker necklace bernard instone There is a circular signatureFabulous necklace from the 1930s which is likely to be from the Jakob Bengel factory. This design uses many of Bengel's characteristic component parts including shiny 'cup' beads and a stacked architectural Art Deco style. I love the alternating shiny gold tone and shiny silver chrome tone within the beads. The necklace is a very short choker length of 15 inches, so I have made a 2. 5 inch extension chain with a more modern chain and lobster claw
