In the 1920's and 1930's, it became one of the leading manufactures of fashion jewellery in the Art Deco style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was during the Bauhaus and Art Deco period that designers were looking to obtain new materials and inspiration to produce costume jewellery. Inspired by French Avant-Garde and other fashion trendsetters such as Coco Chanel, Bengel started to produce experimental jewellery. The pieces, catalogued from 1924-1939, combined brass and chrome with geometric shapes of coloured galalith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe watch chains themselves are therefore probably brass or chrome, but being vintage we cannot say this with any certainty.
