Costume Jewelry Hall Of Fame Inducts Famous Art Deco Jewelry Designer, Jakob Bengel
May 21, 2005 -- The most recent inductee, The Jakob Bengel Company, pioneers in Art Deco design, very nearly faded to obscurity. The story of the company is well worth telling and reading. Their intriguing history, including an alternative use of a technology known as Galalith (milkstone, Milchstein), and a quarter-century search for their roots by two devoted and thorough vintage collectors, is told in the article, "The House that Bengel Built". A German chain manufcturer of the early twentieth century, Jakob Bengel altered the landscape of costume with his Bauhaus styling and helped to change forever how the fashion and world viewed "imitation jewelry". On top of all this, the Jakob Bengel Company is once again re-producing some of their classic Galalith Art Deco designs, closely following the Bauhaus rule that "form follows function". The article about this fascinating company can be found at the Guyot Brothers website.
