An article written by Anna Maria Claesson, Jönköping County Museum.
"Jewellery from the time of emergency
Europe after the Napoleonic Wars of 1813-14 was poor and impoverished. The affluent were invited to leave their gold jewellery in exchange for iron jewellery. And the iron jewellery was provided with texts like With thanks from the fosterland or I gave gold for iron.
But the patriotic deeds of the 1810s became so petty about the highest fashion. In Germany, Berliner Eisen was manufactured; black lacquered cast and pressed iron jewellery drawn by skilled goldsmiths. In Sweden too, iron jewellery was fabricated. An immigrant German started production at Finspång’s art foundry in 1927.
However, when the iron jewellery became obsolete, they were cast. Few jewellery made of iron are preserved.
At the County Museum, the necklaces depicted above are kept (JM.16646: 34). An additional necklace and a bracelet can be found in the museum’s collections.
