Collector Note On Scandinavian Design. Characterized by simplicity and minimalism, the modernist design movement of Nordic countries flourished during the 1950’s and remains highly influential today. For jewelry, sterling silver is historically the beloved and central material for their artisanship, with Georg Jensen being a pivotal artistic figure during the early 1900’s. A focus on silver enabled the creation of democratic designs possessing both functionality and beauty. Sculptural and flowing forms were embraced with colorful enameling bringing a complimentary contrast to the silver’s modern sheen. On Modernist Jewelry. Modernist jewelry is a distinctive artistic movement that emerged in the mid-20th century, characterized by its innovative and experimental approach to design. Breaking away from traditional forms and techniques, modernist jewelers sought to create avant-garde and unconventional pieces that embraced asymmetry, abstract shapes, and a focus on the intrinsic beauty of materials. With a strong emphasis on artistic expression and individuality, modernist jewelry often incorporated unique gemstones, unconventional materials, and bold color combinations. The movement also emphasized the significance of craftsmanship and artisanal skills, elevating jewelry-making to an art form. _gsrx_vers_1516 (GS 9.3 (1516))
