Björn Weckström for Lapponia Platinum and 14 Karat Gold Cocktail Ring 1991
About the Item
A stunning platinum and 14 karat yellow gold ring, by Björn Weckström for Lapponia, Finland, 1991. Signed Lapponia. Ring size 5.5. This ring may be only slightly resized.
Meticulously handcrafted 14-karat yellow gold infused with contrasting platinum accents, the ring perfectly exemplifies artist jeweler Weckström’s style. With every twist and curve, Weckström’s iconic sculptural design showcases an avant-garde approach inspired by the Finnish landscape.
Born in Helsinki, Finland, in 1935, Weckstrom is a Finnish sculptor and jeweler whose work has defined modern Nordic jewelry for over forty years.
A trained goldsmith, Weckström’s designs range from abstractions of nature to clean-cut classical forms. He participated in the landmark International Exhibition of Modern Jewelry, curated by Graham Hughes and held in London in 1961. Over his long career, Weckström has been closely associated with the Finnish jewelry firm Lapponia. The designer said he is inspired by “nature, snowfalls, the sea, and forms of water. Also, mythologies and future visions.” Weckström’s work uses gold, bronze, silver, and sometimes even acrylic. His geometric forms combine with textured surfaces and irregular shapes in exquisite sculptural styles. He is credited with being one of the first jewelry designers to combine silver and acrylic.
In 1975, Yoko Ono wore Weckström’s futuristic silver and acrylic ring, Petrified Lake. Famously, in 1977, Weckström’s Planetoid Valleys and Darina's Bracelet appeared in Star Wars, worn by Carrie Fisher in her role as Princess Leia.
Weckström’s jewelry is in the collection of the Designmuseo in Helsinki, amongst other prominent public and private collections.
