Two separate, perfectly proportioned curves—one in sterling silver and the other in yellow gold—nestle one on top of the other to create this eye-catching necklace. The unconventional mix of precious metals as the two parts hang together gives the necklace an expression that appeals to a woman with an individual sense of style.
Revered as one of the leading lights of contemporary Scandinavian jewelry design, Danish born Regitze Overgaard has collaborated with Georg Jensen on many occasions. Curve is a shining example of her talents, with its powerful, sculptural shapes and superb craftsmanship and is surely destined to become a classic.
The necklace is beautifully crafted from sterling silver and 18 karat yellow gold. It hangs from a fine sterling silver chain.
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.
