The old Bavarian city of Augsburg has been known for its hereditary master jewelers since 1560. The Bartel dynasty of goldsmiths and founded by them Bartel & Söhne company have been known since at least 1884.
The workshop of Alfred Bartel was located in an old mansion of the 15th century in Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany.
Noteworthy, their modernist jewelry designs produced in the 1940s-1960s have become the most famous and collectible.
Creating jewelry by hand, the craftsmen used silver, gold, rhodium and natural stones – quartz, garnet, amethysts, baroque pearls and more. Jewelry design, along with modernist and abstract, so popular in the 1960s, included Victorian and classical. No less excellent were floral and plant motifs embodied in filigree brooches, rings, earrings and pendants. Also, they created a series of Zodiac Sign pendants and charms made from silver.
Traditionally, the markings on these pieces include the initials BS for Bartel & Söhne.
Today, based in Kaufbeuren, Germany “Alfred Bartel & Söhne GmbH & Co. KG” is still active, but it manufactures different products. In particular, portable power tools for jewelers and watchmakers, plastic industrial products, and a variety of household products.
