"Jewelry if the herald of joy"

Bent Gabrielsen, aka Bent Gabrielsen Pedersen, (1928-2014) described a piece of jewelry as “a little work of art which brings joy to the one who wears it. It bring joy to the one who presents it, just as it gives me joy to create it. Jewelry is the herald of joy.” 

Gabrielsen began his career with the Hans Hansen Silversmithy in 1953 working his way up to become the firm’s artistic director; during this time he also produced iconic modernist designs for the Georg Jensen Silversmithy. In 1969 he opened his own workshop. His work has won many prizes over the years including the Lunning Prize and the gold medal at the Milan Triennale.

This pendant is an iconic Gabrielsen piece produced for the Hans Hansen Silversmithy with hammered texured silver framing a gilt reticulated pendant-within-the-pendant. I have included a sterling neck ring that in NOT by Gabrielsen, but which suits it well.
