This is another Jakob Bengel brick wall necklace, probably made during the 1930s. In 1878 the locksmith Jakob Bengel founded the company to produce pocket watch chains. The mechanical production allowed low cost fabrication that empowered him to capture Europe rapidly. The main market was France, especially Paris was mesmerised by Bengels traditional designs in costume jewellery.
Many thanks for looking.
Great looking piece. The manikin is awesome as well.
Awww, thank you Caperkid, I've put a photo of my manikin which is a Gourd which has travelled all over the world with me. I bought them in Kenya many moon ago, I have posted my Gourds before on CW maybe I'll post them again.
Are these pieces marked in any way Jean? I have something similar, unmarked, although I'm pretty sure it's a recent Made in China piece.

Hi Karen I've put a link above telling a little of Jakob Bengel. Most of his work wasn't marked. As always thanks for your interest.
Many thanks
