Danish silversmith Herman Siersbøl

Here is a great collection by the Danish silversmithy of Herman Siersbøl.  He opened his workshop in 1945, setting out to produce innovative and pretty silver jewellery which was also affordable.  These early designs were hugely popular and in the 1950s most young girls received one of his necklaces or bracelets as a Confirmation present. -  note that the Danish church is a State church and you are automatically a member unless you actively opt out.  The whole school class is confirmed at the same time, with few requirements from the student , but lots of parties and presents.
This collection includes several of these 1950s pieces, as well as other designs from that era and later decades, when the company become a follower of, rather than a leader, of design trends.

Brutalist jewellery from Denmark

Here is a collection of 15 pieces of  jewellery in the Brutalist style from Denmark.  They materials include base metal silverplated as well as 3 items in Sterling silver.  10 of the pieces are embellished with semi-precious stones. There are pendants, arm cuffs, rings and even cufflinks. 

Brutalist is the term recently applied to the bold and rough designs of the 1960s and 1970s. 

It has been borrowed from 'Brutalist' architecture, a movement  that flourished from the 1950s to the mid-1970s, descending from the modernist architectural movement of the early 20th century. The term does not derive from the word "brutal," but originates from the French béton brut, or "raw concrete," a term used by Le Corbusier to describe his choice of material. British architectural critic Reyner Banham adapted the term into "brutalism" (originally "New Brutalism") to identify the emerging style.
