David-Andersen layered enamel pendant

by: David-Andersen, Norway, 1972

materials: sterling silver, enamel

size: 3 3/4" x 2 3/8"

This wonderful and diffucult-to-find pendant by Bjorn Sigurd Østern is one of the most original designs to come out of the David-Andersen workshops. It may be worn either way up, as both ends are constructed with an integral loop, and each layer is fully enamelled, the top with blended hues of orange, russet and olive green. This dimensional and curvaceous piece of miniature sculpture works well on either a neck ring or chain.
