Cast iron jewellery became particularly popular in Germany during the 19th century. They were made of iron instead of gold and silver, yet still featured very detailed and beautiful patterns. During that time, people were encouraged to turn in their gold jewellery to support the country during the war, and in return, they received jewellery made of cast iron. The pieces became a symbol of both resilience and beauty.
