Brooch
by JENSEN, Georg, Silver, amber, 11 x 7 cm
Jensen’s jewellery combines flower and insect motifs from Art Nouveau with traditional Nordic ornament; semiprecious stones and enamel add colourful accents.
Amber was traditionally used in Danish jewellery. It is characteristic of Jensen to achieve colour with a few other materials, either amber or a semiprecious stone such as lapis lazuli. The jewellery was usually given an oxidized patina so that the surface appears matt grey.
