This striking and sculptural pendant features a bold, fluid modernist form, centred around a lustrous hollow silver sphere suspended by a delicate wire within its open-backed, flowing structure. The discreet bail is cleverly positioned behind the pendant, allowing it to sit beautifully when worn on a chain.
This is a distinctive vintage sterling silver modernist pendant designed by Aksel Holmsen, a renowned Norwegian silversmith. Dating from the 1960s–1970s mid-century modern era, this beautiful Scandinavian piece showcases an expressive, wing-like sculptural design, with a polished hollow silver sphere suspended dynamically from the upper bar.
A wonderful example of Scandinavian modernist jewellery, this pendant makes a striking statement when worn on a silver neck ring or chain.
