Bjorn Weckstrom Lapponia Sterling Silver & Acrylic 'Kilamanjaro' Pendant & Chain

About the Item

This sterling silver and acrylic pendent and chain were done by the renowned Finnish jewelry maker, Bjorn Weckstrom in his signature Modernist style in approximately 1970. This example of his work is known as 'Kilimanjaro' and combines a sculptured side done in sterling silver and a corresponding acrylic side with a cobalt blue iridescent inclusion. The chain has no clasp and is done in his signature bar link with circular accents. The pendent is signed, but obscured somewhat by the acrylic, and shows the Finnish silver mark and the first three letters 'LAP' for Lapponia Finland. It is presumed this is an early example of his Kilimanjaro pendent as others are signed directly on the top of the stem, demarcated a front and back. This one being offered permits it to be worn displaying either side equally depending on personal preference. The dimensions posted below refer tot he pendent itself. The chain and pendent measure and combined height of sixteen inches.
