MID-CENTURY MODERN, LONG STERLING SILVER NECKLACE

WEAR WITH OR WITHOUT ROYAL COPENHAGEN PENDANT

HAND MADE IN ANTON MICHELSEN WORKSHOP - DENMARK - 1960’S

MINT CONDITION – BRAND NEW VINTAGE TREASURE - NEVER WORN

 This necklace was produced for a brief time in the 1960s, shortly after the crown jeweler A. Michelsen and the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain Manufactory were bought by Georg Jensen.  To celebrate this "merger" of  historic Danish "royal" workshops, several jewelry designs combining sterling silver and fine porcelain were produced.  Production of this series was limited, and ended by 1970.  Today, these pieces are highly collectible.

Each piece was created and signed by two leading artists - Jens Windfeld Hansen and Bodil Buch.  Hansen was a trained goldsmith from the Michelsen workshop, and Buch was an acclaimed ceramisist from Royal Copenhagen. 

The design offered here is a convertible necklace consisting of a handmade mocha-colored porcelain disk pendant on a long, heavy handmade sterling silver chain, with sterling spheres at each end. The pendant is easily removable and the necklace can be worn in a number of ways, both with and without the disk.  This example is in original showroom condition and has never been worn.

The porcelain disk is approximately 2 ½ inches (6 ½ cm.) in diameter, and weighs about 20 grams.  The reverse side of the disk is marked "Royal Copenhagen" with a crown,"Denmark",  three "wavy" lines, and a special monogram combining the initials of Hansen and Buch.

As shown in the photos, this necklace can be worn in a variety of ways to suit different necklines.  The chain can also be detached from the disk and worn by itself as an impressive sterling necklace.  It is almost 33 inches (84 cm.) long and weighs approximately 20 grams.  It bears the hallmarks “AM” in a crown and 925S.
