I may be slow to the motion as I have just come to explore 'Georg Jensen' and the unfortunate impact its going to have on my bank balance.
A Beautifully, unique Scandinavian jewellery house that offers clean silver forms that seem to hold a timeless value.
The first piece that I fell in love with still remains my favourite and the most wanted thing to me, the ALLIANCE 'ear cuff'It is designed from one piece of silver that is magnificently shaped in order to hold itself around your ear, almost floating, en-capturing the beauty of whats beneath.
I first tried these on with my plain pearl studs, that I was already wearing, and just loved how they framed something that had such sentimental value, adding to their beauty.
They are such a statement themselves though, and I'm sure would be the opener for many conversations when being worn.
If you're thinking they seem a little 'out there' for the more conservative of people, they are available in three sizes; small, medium and large, and I have to say that the small hold their own just the same as the large do. (Although I am a 'large girl' in this sense, that is) The fact they are such a ingeniously designed ear decoration holds makes them a talking point to any situation.
On researching the theory behind the design a little further, I found that Alan Scharff wanted to remind us that we should always focus on possibilities rather than the limitations. I enjoy this sentiment, and how it has been visually and physically recreated.
Georg Jensen's website says they are "a living example of the power of imagination". To me this is true, I cannot stop imagining all the outfits and circumstances I'ld want to wear these... Wish list is plus one.
