Expressing the beauty of a perfect curve, these sophisticated and elegant earrings play with the contrast between the softness of the contours and the sharpness of the line where they join. Their understated nature means they can be dressed up or worn casually and the organic form of the hoops is a great example of Georg Jensen sculptural jewelry.
Danish designer Regitze Overgaard is renowned for her love of natural and organic shapes combined with an appreciation of craftsmanship and attention to detail. These characteristics all become evident in her striking and contemporary Curve collection for Georg Jensen.
The medium sized earrings are beautifully crafted from sterling silver.
Regitze Overgaard is a standout among standouts. She finished training as a goldsmith in 1970 and graduated from the Copenhagen School of Arts and Crafts in 1976. She has collaborated with Georg Jensen since 1987 and has produced a number of the brand's most successful designs including the popular Magic, Infinity, Zephyr and Curve collections.
Early in her career, her unique ability to capture nature's organic yet infinite lines in precious metals won her attention from art and design world luminaries. She pioneered the organic design style, perhaps more than anyone else did. Her inspiration may come from the light of a Nordic summer sky or water cascading over rocks or simply from movement.
With distinctive elegance and purity, her jewelry expresses a freshness and modernity that radiates light and life. Regitze Overgaard works from the premise that jewelry should be as simple as possible; it should be the shape of the metal that wields artistic power, rather than external adornment. Her jewelry combines lightness and volume–the balance of this contrast is very difficult to strike. There is also an ongoing allusion to the human body in her work. This is important in any jewelry–the interaction of the metal with its wearer. In Overgaard's works, the form of the piece respects the natural curves of the body and accentuates it with a sense of style, elegance and individuality. Overgaard's collection betray a keen eye for the sublime forms that exist in nature.
