Georg Jensen Bangle by

Torun Bülow-Hübe (1927-2004)

Manufactured: c. 1960

Design No. 230

Size: 1.75 ins. x 2.5 ins (60 mm x 45 mm)

Price: £795



Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe was an internationally celebrated Swedish silversmith of the post war period. Using assymetric, fluid forms in silver combined with semi-precious stones and pebbles, she created jewellery that strongly broke with tradition. Her early hand-made jewellery from the 1950's became an instant success in Paris where she lived at the time. She earned clients such as Pablo Picasso, Brigitte Bardot, Ingrid Bergman and Billie Holiday, who all were fascinated by her innovative designs of sculptural forms tracing the contours of the wearer's body.

In the mid 1950's she started a long relationship with the Danish company Georg Jensen. Torun had a passion for silver and like Georg Jensen originally created jewellery for people who valued the beauty and the design of a handcrafted objects more than a luxurious material. Torun used rock crystal, moonstone and quartz instead of more valuable stones.  Although Jensen died in 1935 and never met Torun, she carried on the spirit of his design.

 

Torun designed Jensen's first wrist watch in 1962. This today world famous model was the first of it's kind, a simple, open-sided wrist watch with a numberless mirror dial, stripped of all but the bare essentials.

Georg Jensen Ear-rings Gold (19K) with ‘Star’ Sapphires
DETAIL

Georg Jensen Ear-rings Gold (19K) with ‘Star’ Sapphires
Designed by: Johan Rohde
Date of Manufacture: 1915-25
Design No.: 102
Gold Mark: 785
Ref: WJC767  
Note:  Johan Rohde designed these stunning and unusual ear-rings for Georg
Jensen.  He has used ‘Star’ sapphires which are given a smooth, rounded shape
rather than being ‘facetted’ cut as usually found in jewellery with this stone. 
A star sapphire is a type of sapphire that exhibits a star-like phenomenon known
as an ‘asterism’. Star sapphires contain intersecting needle-like inclusions. 
(See www.wikipedia.com).
 
The gold is c. 19K and is unusual as ear-rings are marked ‘785’ which is higher
than 18K at 750.
 
Johan Rohde joined Georg Jensen in 1906.  They formed a life long partnership
and friendship which lasted the whole of their lives until 1935.  Johan Rohde
was the perfect balance to Jensen’s flamboyant, impulsive and passionate nature,
as he was reserved and methodical. Despite their differences they worked
together with practically no conflict.  From the start of their relationship,
the two artists established the distinctive style and quality we now recognise
as ‘Jensen’. 

 
(NB.  I believe these ear-rings to be quite rare as I could not find a record of
this actual design – but it is typical of the delicate gold filigree work done
by Johan Rohde – (see page 186 of the book by Janet Drucker, ‘Georg Jensen: A
Tradition of Splendid Silver’ by Schiffer Books.  Illustration of Gold Brooch
and ear-rings no. 53 designed by Johan Rohde).

This Crucifix was made in the early days of Georg Jensen first workshop, which he set up in 1904 in Copenhagen.

This range of jewellery was the perfect solution and also produced wornderful collector's items.

After he qualified after training with a German Goldsmith in Munich, he joined his father’s company in 1917 to 1923. He then started his own workshop in Stockholm, which continued until 1936, but he rejoined his Father’s company, the Georg Jensen Silversmithy, until 1962,

Jorgen Jensen continued his Father’s tradition of making things that were affordable, so he also made items out of pewter, as gold and silver became more and more expensive. His work reflects his father’s talent, but I think there is also humour in his work, which is delightful.

Biomorphism has connections with Surrealism and Art Nouveau .  Henning Koppel and the term 'Biomorphism' have come to be virually synonymous.  His advant guard designs caused much intra-company controversy but now examples of Henning's work have become icons of mid 20th century jewellery design

Georg Jensen Bracelet with Amber
DETAIL
Georg Jensen Bracelet with Amber, known as a 'Paris Design' Design No. 30 Size: Length 8” (20.2 cm) with safety catch Designed by: Georg Jensen in Paris 1925-6
Date of Manufacture: Post 1945

Note: In late 1924 Georg Jensen, then aged 58, decided to move to Paris to re-start his workshop in an effort to recreate the early days of his career. He was disillusioned at the way his company based in Denmark had been taken out of his hands, and he felt he no longer had any real influence on its direction.
He took 5 silversmiths with him to set up his workshop in Paris. However, the venture was short lived and in 1926 he returned to Copenhagen. Whilst in Paris he made some large pieces of holloware, including 2 wine coolers which were eagerly snapped up by his customers.  He also made some jewellery, now known as his 'Paris Designs'. 
This bracelet is a stunning piece of Georg Jensen's work. His fanatical attention to detail and ability to bring the silver 'alive' is clearly evident in this beautiful bracelet. The warm glow of the amber perfectly complements the cool tones of the silver. This piece is without doubt an heirloom for future generations.

Date of Manufacture: Post 1945
Price: £1,950

Note: A large number of Jensen's jewellery designs have remained popular through the years since they were introduced and some are still in production today. Georg Jensen's attention to detail, such as the surface patina and clasp detail, are indications of his superior workmanship. This unusual brooch, design no. 153, is reminiscent of a peacock's flowing tail and head feathers. Many pieces could be ordered either in all silver or with different stones. Another version of this brooch with green cabouchons is on page 93 of Janet Drucker's book, ‘Georg Jensen: A Tradition of Splendid Silver' (Schiffer).

Note: This is a set of the famous Georg Jensen 'Dove' design with Green Onyx cabouchons.  The set has come from Denmark and is purportedly have been owned by a niece of Arno Malinowski.  (There is no documentary evidence to support this and, as the earliest date the set could have been manufactured is 1933, it would have been purchased just before Georg Jensen died in 1935).  However, the marks on the bracelet are unusual in that the 'GJ' has been stamped twice on the bracelet.  I feel it is important that this set stay together if possible.

He was able to breathe life into inaminate materials and made them into his own unique works of art.  These are now loved and admired all over the world.
