About the Item

A "Leppäkertu" 14 karat yellow gold Finnish bangle bracelet, by Liisa Vitali for N. Westerback, Finland, circa 1970. This bangle bracelet by Vitali beautifully captures the delicate essence of a ladybug (Leppäkertu in Finnish) in vibrant 14-karat yellow gold, the preferred metal of the time. The design lovingly shapes every detail, celebrating the allure of the natural world, Vitali's speciality. The gold ladybug on the bangle serves as a playfully sophisticated accent, reminding us to appreciate the beauty found in the smallest of creatures. The bracelet has an internal circumference of 6.5 inches and features a dangling gold ball measuring 0.56 inches in width. Stamped NW, 585, Finland national control mark, Helsinki, R7. Liisa Vitali was born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1918 and is celebrated as one of Finland’s foremost twentieth-century modern jewelry designers. Renowned for her modern, feminine, and sensual creations in silver and gold, Vitali drew inspiration from the realm of nature. A distinctive aspect of her work is the incorporation of the Pitsi technique, where she skillfully cut holes in the metal to mimic lace. This technique brought a unique touch to her designs. Liisa Vitali's work exemplifies a seamless fusion of creativity and craftsmanship. Vitali's jewelry gained widespread acclaim both in Finland and internationally during the 1960s and 1970s, with her Pitsi design emerging as a perennial favorite, enduring in popularity then and now.
