More: Silesian wire jewelry began around 1798 in Gleiwitz, almost 20 years before cast-iron jewelry from Berlin. These jewels are made from fine, interwoven wires. It is very rare to find this type of jewelry in good condition, as the iron oxidizes, causing rust. To preserve jewelry, it’s best to avoid humidity and, above all, not to immerse it in water.
