‘Offspring’ pendant and chain by Georg Jensen, Denmark

This pendant consists of two interlocking abstract ovals, one larger than the other. They can be worn with the smaller suspended at the top, or hanging from the base of the larger oval. The reverse of the pendant is marked  ‘GEORG JENSEN’, ‘DENMARK’, ‘433’ and ‘925 S’ for sterling silver. The chain also includes the Jensen mark together with ‘925 S’.

Georg Jensen (1866-1935) trained as a goldsmith and sculptor before establishing his own workshop in Copenhagen in 1904. He was influenced by nature and form, and his business (named after him) created highly original jewellery and silverware, which in turn pioneered 20th century Scandinavian design. The company continues to exist and is still internationally recognised today.

Jacqueline Rabun is a German-born, American-bred, London-based jeweller, who has collaborated with the Jensen firm since 1999/2000. Her work is both organic and sculptural, and is influenced by nature and the human form.
