QuickviewRed & Black Galalith German Machine Age Earrings by Jakob Bengel
Vintage Earrings, 1930s Jewelry, Jakob Bengel JewelryUSD$295.00These Jakob Bengel earrings feature raised black Galalith triangles with red Galalith slots. The chrome setting envelopes the stones. A stack of chrome disks completes the design. I purchased these earrings from a Bengel expert in the UK. They came with their unmarked ear wires with lever backs for pierced ears, so I am unaware of the metal content. If you require sterling silver, a competent jeweler could switch the ear wires.
