The Collector Bangle 1131

This impressive bangle dates back to 1961 and is a striking synthesis of Nanna Ditzel’s bold, sculptural approach to jewellery, with a sequence of oval-shaped purple amethysts set along a band of rippling yellow gold. It is the work of Nanna Ditzel, a leading figure in Danish design whose collaboration with Georg Jensen spanned more than half a century and resulted in over 150 designs. Forming part of The Collector, the bangle joins a series of reissued designs from the Georg Jensen Copenhagen archives. Each piece in the collection was carefully selected from works by female artist-makers from the second half of the 20th century, reflecting the openness to artistic expression and craftsmanship on which Georg Jensen was founded.
