RARE Bjorn Weckstrom TRIBU sterling & acrylic necklace Lapponia
Finland
An outstanding piece by world-class jewelry designer Bjorn
Weckstrom. According to Fred Rezazadeh, in his book Collectible Silver Jewelry: Weckstrom joined forces with Pekka Anttila, a fellow graduate of the Goldsmith School, in 1963 at the company that is now known as Lapponia. They developed many creative new lines of jewelry including Space Jewelry which combines silver and acrylic to create miniature sculptures. This line received world-wide attention when Yoko Ono wore a silver and acrylic ring on the Dick Cavett show. Another of Weckstrom's designs (a necklace) was worn by Princess Leia in Star Wars. As stated by Mr. Rezazadeh: "Weckstrom is not just Finland's best, but also one of the world's most creative contemporary designers." This fabulous necklace features a large moon-shaped pendant that is half matte sterling silver and half acrylic with embedded bubbles that give it an intriguing depth. The pendant is suspended from a series of curved acrylic cylinders with sterling end caps. The piece is marked 925 inside a scales symbol, a crown in a heart (for domestic production), a trident mark for Lapponia, 925, M8 (which indicates a date post 1977),and LAPPONIA. The pendant measures 5 inches wide. The necklace measures 16 inches around. Excellent original condition. A superb example of this world class designer's work. $2800 email: susan@vintagecostumejewelry.us |
