FAQs

Mid-century modernist jewellery, prominent in Scandinavia during the 1950s and 1960s, is characterised by geometric abstraction, clean lines, and a focus on the natural qualities of silver and organic stones rather than traditional diamond ornamentation.

Craftspeople predominantly utilised sterling silver paired with natural materials such as abalone shell, mother of pearl, amber, and occasionally hardstones, employing hand-crafting techniques like bezel setting and texturing.

Authentic pieces typically feature maker marks, designer monograms, and standard silver purity hallmarks such as 925 or country-specific assay stamps, alongside characteristic minimalist construction methods.

Vintage modernist silver pieces pair effectively with minimalist, architectural outfits and neutral tones, allowing the sculptural geometry and iridescent qualities of the abalone to serve as a focal point.

Sterling silver should be cleaned periodically with a soft polishing cloth to remove tarnish, while abalone shell requires gentle care, avoiding harsh chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged immersion in water.
