Torun Bülow-Hübe necklace

This rare necklace was designed by Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe and produced by Georg Jensen in Denmark during the 1960s. The piece is crafted in sterling silver with a clear rock crystal pendant, a combination that reflects Torun’s signature approach to jewelry design — sculptural yet minimal, with a focus on organic forms and the inherent beauty of natural materials. The circular pendant is suspended from a rigid silver neck ring, creating a striking visual balance between structure and fluidity.

The silver surface retains its original finish, with minor signs of wear consistent with age and careful use. The rock crystal remains clear and well-polished, catching and refracting light to create subtle optical effects. The piece is accompanied by its original Georg Jensen presentation boxes.

Vivianna Torun Bülow-Hübe was one of the most influential Scandinavian jewelry designers of the 20th century, and the first female silversmith to gain international recognition. Her collaboration with Georg Jensen began in the 1960s and resulted in some of the brand’s most iconic jewelry designs. Her work is celebrated for its purity of line and emphasis on harmony between the object and the wearer.

This necklace exemplifies mid-century Scandinavian design principles, emphasizing craftsmanship, natural materials, and a timeless aesthetic. It is offered in good vintage condition and remains a notable example of Torun’s enduring influence on modern jewelry design.
