Vintage West German 835 Silver Asian Motif Filigree Panel Storyteller BraceTVB27
A captivating piece of mid-century European craftsmanship, this vintage West German storyteller bracelet is masterfully crafted in 835 fine silver (the traditional European fineness standard of 83.5% pure silver). Dating from the post-WWII era, this bracelet represents a fascinating cultural crossover, featuring intricately detailed Asian-inspired motifs set within classic European metalwork.
The bracelet is composed of six substantial rectangular panels, each framed with delicate, openwork filigree and cannetille-style twisted wire work. The panels showcase embossed traditional East Asian figures and scenes in relief, including:
A robed deity or scholar carrying a staff
A traditional pagoda resting amidst stylized foliage
Budai (the Laughing Buddha), depicting a universal symbol of happiness, contentment, and good wealth
Fine decorative Asian characters and traditional dress
Hallmarks & Construction:
The slide-in box clasp functions securely and is accompanied by a safety chain for added security. The piece features a distinct "835" silver purity stamp alongside a maker's "P" hallmark, denoting its production origin—highly indicative of the historic jewelry manufacturing hub of Pforzheim, West Germany.

Care
Jewellery care requires regular effort as tarnish and the wearing away of plating is caused by very common elements: air (oxidation), moisture (sweat, water) and chemicals (hairspray, perfume, lotions, etc.).
Here are the easiest steps to follow:
Put jewellery on after applying makeup, hairspray, perfume, and lotion. Don't wear your jewellery to the salon or spa, into the bath or shower (chlorine, soap film) or lake (pollutants), or while exercising or spending time in high heat or humidity.
