Linked gold chain, GNM 866
Caption reads:
Linked chain from North Germany, 1501-1700, Gold, discovered in 1866 in Uckermark.
Jeweled Necklace and matching bracelets, GNM 4188
Caption on photos reads, my rough translation plus some additional information:
Chain made of pieces. Nurnberg from 1530 to 1540. Gold, Pearls, Precious Stones, Coral and Gems. 39.2 cm long. This type of necklace and bracelets would have been a proper part of the bride's dowry (Brautschatz) and would have gone along with the Nurnberger Bride's Crown (Kronbraut) that is so often seen in Jost Amman's etchings.
