Germany Necklace – Show Where You're From
A Germany necklace is more than jewellery – it's a statement. Whether it's the Federal Eagle, the coat of arms or the country outline: with a necklace from d'origine, you carry a piece of identity right on your body. Our Germany Collection includes emblem necklaces, bracelets, rings, keychains and phone cases – all made from high-quality materials and backed by a 365-day guarantee. It doesn't matter whether you were born in Germany, grew up there, or simply feel a deep connection to the country. Across more than 40 countries, people wear emblem necklaces from d'origine to show where their roots lie. The Germany Collection is one of our most popular – because the desire to make heritage and belonging visible is universal.
Is It Allowed to Wear a Necklace With the German Eagle?
This is a question we get asked a lot. Section 124 of the German Administrative Offences Act (OWiG) protects the federal coat of arms, the Federal Eagle and the federal service flag from unauthorised use. According to legal commentary, the decisive factor is whether the use creates "the appearance of official use" (cf. BeckOK OWiG/Weiner, 43rd Ed. 2024, § 124 para. 3). The Research Services of the German Bundestag state in their report WD 7-062/24 that socially customary uses are considered permissible – explicitly mentioning patches, folk festivals and souvenirs. Whether a use is "unauthorised" depends on whether the viewer gets the impression of an official connection – such as a government endorsement or inspection. A necklace with an eagle motif worn as personal jewellery typically does not create this impression. It is clearly perceived as an individual accessory, not as an official emblem.

Can You Be Proud of Germany?
In few other countries is national pride as controversial as in Germany. According to a Pew Research Center study, only 53 percent of Germans said they were proud of their country – one of the lowest figures internationally. Among younger people, the number is even lower. Many Germans reflexively associate patriotism with nationalism, even though the two are fundamentally different. Patriotism means valuing democracy, the constitution and cultural heritage – not feeling superior to other nations. This is exactly the mindset we stand for at d'origine: our Germany necklaces represent connection, not exclusion. Showing where you come from doesn't shut anyone out – it invites others to do the same. That's why we offer collections for more than 40 countries, from Turkey to Poland to Albania.
Material and Quality of Our Germany Necklaces
Our Germany Collection uses different materials depending on the product, each optimised for its purpose. The Germany Emblem Necklace V2 for men is made from high-quality stainless steel with 18K gold plating – a material known from medical technology for its rust resistance, scratch resistance and skin compatibility. The women's emblem necklace is crafted from 18K gold-plated brass and hand-set with over 125 zirconia stones – for an elegant, sparkling finish. Both versions are waterproof and allergy-friendly: you can wear them in the shower, during sport or on holiday. All products come with a 365-day guarantee. Each necklace is delivered in a premium jewellery box, making it a perfect gift.
Germany Necklace for Men and Women
Our Germany Collection has something for everyone. The Germany Emblem Necklace V2 for men features a 60 cm curb chain with a striking eagle pendant in stainless steel. The women's version comes with a finer 40 cm chain (plus 5 cm extension) and a zirconia-studded pendant – elegant yet equally expressive. Both are available in silver and gold. For those who want the full package, the Germany Emblem Bundle offers a necklace and matching bracelet at a reduced set price. A cohesive look for any occasion – from everyday wear to special events like a national team match.
Germany Necklace in Silver or Gold – Which One Suits You?
One of the most common questions from our customers: should I choose the Germany necklace in silver or gold? Both colour variants are waterproof and allergy-friendly. The silver version has a cool, modern shine that pairs well with almost anything. The gold version offers a warmer, more eye-catching look thanks to its 18K gold plating. Our tip: go with the jewellery colour you already wear most. If your collection is mostly silver, choose the silver Germany necklace. Gold lovers should go for the gold variant. If you can't decide, the bundle with necklace and bracelet helps create a unified look – many customers order both colours.
More Than a Necklace: The Full Germany Range
Beyond the classic Germany necklace, our collection includes more accessories featuring the eagle motif. The Germany Emblem Bracelet pairs perfectly with the necklace and works on its own or as a set. The Germany Emblem Keychain is ideal for anyone who wants to carry their connection to Germany subtly but daily. There's also the Germany Phone Case with eagle design in durable TPU silicone, plus the Germany Emblem Ring. Every product follows the same design concept: an eagle motif on premium material, in a quality built for everyday life. Build your personal Germany set piece by piece.
Buying a Germany Necklace – What to Look For
If you're looking to buy a Germany necklace, pay attention to three things: material, craftsmanship and chain length. For material, stainless steel and high-quality brass with 18K gold plating are the best options – far more durable than cheap fashion jewellery that tarnishes after a few weeks. For craftsmanship, check details like the coating, the clasp and the thickness of the pendant. For chain length, we recommend 55 to 60 cm for men and 40 to 50 cm for women, depending on the desired look. At d'origine, you order directly from our shop – no middlemen. Shipping within Germany is free, and you'll typically receive your order within 1 to 3 working days. Within Europe, shipping is also free on orders over €25.
What Does the Federal Eagle Mean and How Old Is It?
The eagle on our Germany necklaces has a history that goes far beyond the Federal Republic. The eagle has been a German symbol of rule and heraldry since the 12th century. In antiquity, it represented sovereignty and strength as a messenger of the gods – symbolising Zeus for the Greeks and Jupiter for the Romans. By around 1200, the black eagle on a golden background was recognised as the imperial coat of arms, and throughout the Middle Ages, kings and imperial princes bore the eagle on their shields. The current design dates back to a 1926 work by graphic artist Tobias Schwab, originally created for the Weimar Republic. In 1950, Federal President Theodor Heuss adopted this coat of arms as a deliberate symbol of democratic continuity for the young Federal Republic. Interestingly, there is no single binding depiction of the Federal Eagle. The Bundestag, Bundesrat and Federal Constitutional Court each use slightly different versions. The eagle is thus one of the oldest surviving European state symbols – and one that unites tradition, democracy and identity.
