The repertoire of jewellery from Porzellan Manufaktur Nymphenburg can be traced back to the 18th century.

So-called gallantries, small porcelain gifts such as hair pins, cases and medallions were exchanged between ladies and cavaliers to show their mutual respect.

Around 1870, goldsmiths started buying whole sets of porcelain plates in various sizes from Nymphenburg for broaches and earrings.

A century later a collection of finely finished lockets was created with historical flower décor.
