About the Item

This necklace is made by herself in her own workshop way before she made these for Georg Jensen. Made in silver with two drop pendants, one cabochon-cut rose quartz, and one cabochon-cut rock crystal. All three parts are marked "TORUN" and two parts, "O9" for 1964 and the silver mark for Stockholm (see images). See the image with Vivianna together with Pablo Picasso och an image with Billie Holiday wearing Vivianna's jewelry! You can use this necklace with both pendants or with just a single one (see images). Good condition, no issues. The length of the pendants is 6cm (2.4in) and 6.5cm (2.6in). The diameter of the necklace is 14-15cm (5.5in-5.9in) Vivianna Torun Bulow-Hube (Swedish 1927 - 2004). As a young girl, she had visited the workshops of famous Swedish silver designers Wiwen Nilsson and Sigurd Persson. They made a great impression on her. She began at the National College of Craft and Design in Stockholm in 1945. A few years later she became the first female silversmith in the world to open her own workshop. In 1948 she went to Paris where she met icons like Picasso (see included image), Braque and Matisse. During her time in France, she made jewelry for (among others) Billie Holiday (see included image), Ingrid Bergman, and Brigitte Bardot. Torun's jewelry was displayed at the Galerie du Siecle in St Germain-des-Pres. She also displayed her jewelry at the famous Firma Svenskt Tenn in Stockholm. She never used valuable gemstones, preferring instead granite, pebble rock crystal, moonstone, mother of pearl, horn, and quartz. In 1967 she began to work for Georg Jensen in Denmark. Torun's jewelry was inspired by natural shapes such as leaves, flowers, swirls, and the flow of water. It is described as minimalist, sober, and simple. Torun has gained acclaim for her ability to shape seemingly solid materials into flexible forms in jewelry.
