Vivianna Torun Bülow-hube 18ct Gold Necklace #904 Designed for Georg Jensen

About the Item

A very delicate and sensual neck ring designed around 1970's by Vivianna Torun (1927-2004) , the most famous Swedish goldsmith. A 18ct neckring is referenced under #904 in the original 1972 Georg Jensen's catalog. It is designed as a delicate liana and the 2 pearls as a clasp. Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe (4 December 1927 – 3 June 2004), often known simply as Torun, was one of Sweden's most important 20th century silversmiths and a master jeweller. She is the first female silversmith to have become internationally noted.[1] Among her most important works are the watch "Vivianna," the bracelet "Mobius," and the earrings and necklaces "Dew Drop." In the late 1950' she moved to Paris and to south of France where she met Picasso. In 1960, Torun was awarded a gold medal at the 1960 Milan Triennale and also won the American Lunning Prize for design, given annually to innovative Scandinavian designers in their thirties. She then met the Danish silversmith Georg Jensen, for whom she began designing in 1969.
