Lapponia 14ct Gold Necklace

852G
709 Admirers

A really stylish 14ct gold necklace for Lapponia by Björn Weckström (b. 1935) who is a recognised jewellery artist and sculptor. He was the forerunner in designing sculpture-like jewellery for Lapponia, drawing his inspiration from the shape and matte surface of gold.
Weckström´s main mission has always been in turning jewellery design into small-scale form of art and raise its profile on a par with that of modern sculpting.
“A piece of jewellery is a miniature sculpture with the human body in the background. When I first began in the early 1960s, I wanted to turn jewellery design into small-scale form of art and raise its profile on a par with that of modern sculpting. Naturally matt gold soon became my trademark. Wearers of my jewellery relate personally to it. Some think jewellery is art, others think it is an intriguing complement to their personality or a fascinating conversation piece. Some think that it is quite simply beautiful”.
