ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Danish Modernist silversmith, Bent Knudsen*, is known for his highly distinctive and recognizable style. In this striking choker, stylized waves (or fins) of brightly gleaming sterling silver link together creating an undulating motion around the neckline. An eye-catching and collectible conversation piece. Hand fabricated in silver in Denmark and signed, "BentK." Measures 16 1/4 inches. * Bent Knudsen (1924-1996) and his wife Anni started a silversmithy in 1956. He was trained as a silversmith at C.M. Cohr's in Fredericia where the work was based on craftsmanship. Eventually, he established his own workshop where he created jewelry in a simple and clear style, often together with his wife. In later years, he was one of the most sought after maker/designers on the vintage market.

About Mid-Century Jewelry

Mid-Century jewelers gave the Victorians a run for their money when it came to variety—with the added bonus of big, bold gems in every shape, size, and color. Themes of previous eras were made fabulous enough to match the optimism of the post-war world. Transitional pieces bridged the gap between the first and second half of the 20th century.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
