Ges Gesch jewelry spans a wide production era, primarily dating from 1895 through the 1970s. "Ges Gesch" is not a specific jewelry brand. It is an abbreviation for the German phrase Gesetzlich Geschützt, which translates to "legally protected" or "registered design" (the equivalent of "patent pending"). Because of this, the mark can be found on jewelry made by hundreds of different German manufacturers over nearly a century. The number 126 on the "Ges Gesch" earrings is a mold, design, or pattern number used by the manufacturer, rather than a purity or patent number. It signifies that the specific design (mold 126) was legally registered by the maker. These pieces were predominantly manufactured between the 1930s and 1950s.
