About the Item
A vintage, 14-karat yellow gold "Tundra" necklace by Björn Weckström for Lapponia, 1976. The necklace measures 16.875” x 0.25” and is stamped Lapponia with Finnish hallmarks. Elegant and rugged at once, a very versatile and chic, wearable necklace by one of the great Nordic designers.
Björn Weckstrom is one of Finland's most famous master jewelers, a sculptor and an artist in other mediums. Weckstrom created jewelry in gold with a surface texture similar to the element's natural, raw state. His jewelry also reflects the rugged Finnish landscape. The designs he created for Lapponia in 1969 caught the attention of Star Wars director George Lucas. Carrie Fisher’s character, Princess Leia, is seen wearing Weckstrom's ‘Space’ necklace in the final scene of the 1977 film.
