Collector Note
On Scandinavian Design. Characterized by simplicity and minimalism, the modernist design movement of Nordic countries flourished during the 1950's and remains highly 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 Figurals. Figural jewelry includes any piece that has been shaped into an animal offers, person, object, or detailed "day in the life" scene. Antique and vintage figural jewelry is often quite charming and collectible for the realistic or cutesy details. Specific objects or animals became popular and prolific in jewelry during certain time periods, Scotty dogs during the 1940's for example, or swallow birds during the Victorian era. Figural jewelry is special for its detail and realism but also tells the story of the decade they were made in.
