This elegant necklace was designed by Vivianna Torun Bulow-Hube for Georg Jensen. Vivianna Torun Bulow-Hube (1927-2004), usually referred to simply as Torun, was one of Jensen’s most innovative modernist designers. This necklace has simple lines, but is anything but simplistic in its design. The pendant is a square with softened edges and canted sides; the top and bottom have gently domed, high-polished, surfaces. It is suspended from a broad neck ring that sits low on the neck/high on the shoulders; it clasps in the front and one part of the clasp also is the suspension point for the pendant.

According to Georg Jensen Jewelry Torun’s life was “populated with figures from the worlds of fine art, film, and jazz.” While living in France is 1948 she met Picasso and “he was so taken with her work that in 1958 Torun had a solo exhibition at the Picasso Museum in Antibes”. In 1967 Torun began a relationship with the Jensen silversmithy which continued until her death, and from that point on they produced many of her designs, including pieces designed earlier in her career. During the course of her long career she received many awards including the gold medal at at Milan Triennale in 1960, and the Lunning prize in 1961.
