A modernist silver ring with a large navette-shaped top. Stamped on the underside is ‘JUST.A’ for Just Andersen, ‘DANMARK’ for Denmark, ‘STERLING’ for sterling silver, and ‘880’ the design number, together with London import marks for sterling silver and 1966.
Just Anderson (1884-1943) was a sculptor and a silversmith who studied at the Royal Academy of Art in Copenhagen, followed by the School of Danish Crafts. In 1918, he established his own workshop and specialised in silver as well as pewter, brass, copper and Disko. The latter was his own invention, an alloy of lead and antimony. After his death, the company continued until 1969 when it was sold.
