    By Björn Weckström for Lapponia
    Located in New York, NY
    This is the very rare Modernist "Man In Cosmos" Ring by Finnish jewelry designer Björn Weckström for Lapponia in Acrylic Crystal and Sterling Silver. The classic Mid Century brutalist piece was designed in the 1970s for Lapponia Jewelry in Finland and made in Helsinki. The adjustable size ring is Acrylic with bubbles and has a silver figure with outstretched arms inside of the acrylic bubble. The ring has the undulating brutalist naturalistic forms that characterize the masterworks of Weckstrom and Lapponia along with the extraordinary bubble design! It is absolutely magical. Bjorn Weckstrom's pieces define Scandinavian modernism. They are exquisitely designed and timeless. This classic ring is one of the greats by a master artisan of the 20th Century. The ring is adjustable and is currently a size 6 US. The ring is adjustable by gently bending the silver shank. Acrylic diameter: 1 1/8 inches, 27mm Impressed Marks: FINLAND, Manufacturer´s mark Lapponia. 925 Designer name Björn. Date mark - I cannot decipher. Björn Weckström: Björn Weckström was the first designer who radically combined silver and acrylic in jewelry. His silver-acrylic ring achieved international attention when Yoko Ono was filmed wearing it on the Dick Cavett Show in 1975. Weckstrom masterworks are characterized by rough matt surfaces, uncut semi-precious stones and asymmetrical forms. His inspiration comes often from nature. When working in silver, Weckström can for example portray the snowy, Finnish winter landscape with its frozen lakes. Weckström considers jewelry as an art form and his designs as miniature sculptures. In 1963 Björn Weckström started co-operation with jewelry manufacturer Kruunu-Koru Oy (later Lapponia Jewelry) and its owner Pekka Anttila. Weckström became company’s designer and art director. In 1965 Weckström took part in the International Jewelry Contest in Rio de Janeiro, where his yellowgold and tourmaline necklace “Flowering wall” won the Grand Prix. Through this distinguished award, the company received worldwide recognition, launching Lapponia’s international success. His designs have been in continuous production with Lapponia ever since. Probably the best-known piece of Weckström’s jewelry is necklace Planetoid Valleys which Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher) wore in George Lucas’ film Star Wars in 1977.
