Georg Jensen/ Nanna Ditzel /Sterling Silver Brooch 

Originally created in 1956,  a minimalist sterling silver brooch is a celebration of the architectural work of famed designer Nanna Ditzel, the first woman ever to design jewellery for Georg Jensen. The shape of the piece is specifically designed to reflect light in the most elegant way - a feature common to much of Ditzel’s work. 

Ground-breaking and innovative, Nanna Ditzel was the first woman to design jewellery for Georg Jensen. Her creativity and rule-breaking attitude along with a fascination with the way that silver catches the light lead her to create timeless and sculptural jewellery for Georg Jensen. The brooch is artfully crafted from sterling silver. 

A wonderful, early design from Nanna Ditzel.  The pin opens at the top, utilizing a push button mechanism.
Nanna Ditzel's ( Denmark 1923-2005)  organic, modernist style is timeless. Her designs are very wearable and minimalistic. She and her husband, Jorgen met while training as cabinet makers in art school. They began designing jewelry for Jensen in 1954. Jorgen died in 1960, and Nanna went on to become a celebrated furniture designer. She also continued to design jewelry for Jensen until her death.
