About the Item
18k gold zoisite and diamond necklace set with a disc of raw zoisite and a brilliant-cut diamond weighing app. 0.05 ct.
Jewelry artist and sculptor Björn Weckström (Finland Born 1935) is the internationally best-known Finnish jewelry designer. Together with Pekka Anttila, founder of Lapponia, he developed the brand's unique, scupturesque design language.
Björn Weckström has always been ahead of his time as an artist. His jewelry is like miniature sculptures, and their timeless design still fascinates. Weckström's mission is to promote the appreciation of jewelry design and raise it to the same status as modern sculpture.
In his silver jewelry Weckström describes Finland's snowy winter landscape and frozen lakes. It can be seen in the jewelry's unique dramatic dialogue between mirror-clear and matte silver. He boldly and without prejudice combines surprising materials such as acrylic with jewelry.
In the early 1960s, Weckström created a series of gold jewelry that wasinspired by the gold nuggets of Lapland. Organic, sculptural shapes and the shimmer of matte gold are the trademark of Weckström's gold jewelry.
