Georg Jensen
For over a century, Georg Jensen has produced some of the finest objects in Scandinavian modern design, including silver tableware, serving pieces, home decor, jewelry and more, frequently partnering with leading artisans to expand its offerings and respond to shifting tastes. Known for minimal aesthetics that reference nature, the craftsmanship of this legendary Danish silverware firm has regularly married function with thoughtful and beautiful design.
Founder Georg Jensen (1866–1935) was born in the small town of Radvaad, Denmark, and began his training as a goldsmith at 14. After studying sculpture and then training with master silversmith Mogens Ballin, he established his own silver business in Copenhagen in 1904. By 1918, the company was successful enough to open a shop in Paris.
Jensen’s firm produced an incredibly vast range of silver objects, from serving dishes and barware to centerpieces and chandeliers. For his early work, which bore ornate floral details and other organic forms of Art Nouveau, Jensen looked to the splendors of the natural world. The 1905 Blossom teapot, for instance, was topped with a magnolia bud and deftly balanced on toad feet, while some of Jensen’s best-known flatware patterns included Lily of the Valley, introduced in 1913, and Acorn, which debuted in 1915.
Collaboration with outside designers, long before such partnerships were common in design, would lead to some of the company’s most popular and enduring work of the mid-century. Sigvard Bernadotte and Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe created collections, as did Henning Koppel, whose curvy 1952 Pregnant Duck pitcher is a Georg Jensen classic.
After evolving and expanding throughout the 20th century, Georg Jensen was acquired by Investcorp in 2012. Today, the company is a global luxury brand with more than 1,000 stores around the world. It continues to produce seductive new pieces, such as a tea service made with Marc Newson in 2015, as well as timeless heritage designs, including the relaunch in 2019 of the 1018 solid sterling-silver Tureen 270. In 2020, the firm introduced the Jardinière 1505. Sculptural and richly decorative, the never-before-realized showpiece is hand-hammered from sheets of the finest sterling silver and is based on a 1915 sketch from Jensen’s archives.

- Edwardian 10k Australian Black Opal RingLocated in Narberth, PABlack opals are the most rare and valuable of all natural opal varieties. These amazing stones exhibit amazing color backed by dark or black "potch", or common opal, unlike their white opal counterparts, which are backed by more common white potch. The dark base tone gives striking contrast to the brilliant rainbow of colors and patterns, which come about as a result of variations in the orientation and size of microscopic beads of silica within the stone. Although a small portion of the world's opals are mined in Ethiopa, Mexico, and Brazil, black opal specifically is exclusively mined in Australia (particularly from a region known as "Lightning Ridge") and the opal has henceforth been named Australia's national stone. Historically, opals were believed to bring good luck when given as a gift. In the modern day, they continue to be adored worldwide and are one of the most desirable stones used in fine jewelry! This black opal ring from the Edwardian (ca1910)era makes quite a stylish accessory! Hand-crafted in smooth 10kt gold, the ring features an exquisite black opal stone that is bezel set at the center. The oval-shaped cabochon is simply mesmerizing, displaying an incredible array of iridescent colors that flash and shimmer in the light. The vivid shades of red, blue, green, violet, and gold almost seem to glow from within. Completing the striking design is completed with a tapered ribbed gold band...Category

- Victorian Gold in Quartz Statement RingLocated in Narberth, PAGold-in-quartz was formed while the earth was still in its molten state. During the cooling and solidification process, veins of gold became trapped with the crystals of quartz in the mine. This created a very dramatic contrast between the white quartz and the yellow of the gold. Jewelry made from gold quartz became quite a fashion statement of the 1880's. During the Gold Rush era in the American West, most of the gold quartz was mined in California around the San Francisco area. A stunning gold quartz ring...Category
