BackStory

On Scandinavian Design. Characterized by simplicity and minimalism, the modernist design movement of Nordic countries flourished during the 1950's and remains highly store influential today. For jewelry, sterling silver is historically the beloved and central material for their artisanship, with Georg Jensen being a pivotal artistic figure during the early 1900's. A focus on silver enabled the creation of democratic designs possessing both functionality and beauty. Sculptural and flowing forms were embraced with colorful enameling bringing a complimentary contrast to the silver's modern sheen.


On Regional Jewelry. Throughout history, regions have developed their own distinctive styles of jewelry with techniques that are passed down through generations. Because each region shared the same techniques, materials, knowledge, and craftspeople, the style of each region becomes incredibly recognizable, almost like a designer. However, regional jewelry is made by different artisans, so each piece feels subtly different. For example, Austro-Hungarian jewelry is a recognizable category of jewelry, known by its style, motifs, construction, and materials. Collectors can favor regional jewelry for the clear history and distinct location that can be assigned to the piece.
