  • Berlin Iron: a favourite
    of the Faerber Collection

    The first jewelry in "Berlin iron" dates from 1813, when Princess Marianne asked women to participate in the war effort against the invader Napoleon by donating their gold jewelry. In exchange, they were given jewelry in "Berlin iron', sometimes engraved with the words "Gold gab ich für Eisen" (I gave gold in exchange for iron) or "Eingetauscht zum Wohle des Vaterlandes" (Exchanged for the welfare of the Fatherland). These pieces quickly became synonymous with patriotic devotion, and were worn with immense pride. The fashion continued after the war, and even spread throughout Europe. Production declined from the 1840s onwards and had dried up by the end of the 19th century.
