Tone Vigeland (1938-2024) is one of the most important Norwegian studio jewelers of the 20^th century.  From 1958-61 she worked for PLUS, the artisan cooperative founded by Per Tannum in 1958 and led by Erling Christoffersen and Anna Greta Eker.

Vigeland is known for her sculptural jewelry some of which, like this piece, are easily wearable and others of which are more challenging.  Vigeland’s work is in the collections of many museums including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, and the Cooper Hewitt and Museum of Modern Art in New York. 

According to the monograph Tone Vigeland: Jewelry, Objects, Sculpture, this bracelet ("Bred Lenke in Norwegian, "Wide Chain" in English) was designed by Vigeland while she was still a student at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, and was among the first pieces produced by PLUS when she began working for them in 1958.
