A sculptural Norwegian modernist brooch and pendant in sterling silver, richly colored with translucent green, yellow and red champlevé enamel. Its abstract organic design combines flowing silver lines with vivid color, creating a bold architectural composition.
Signed SV and marked for Norway, the substantial piece converts easily from brooch to pendant. It is now accompanied by a slender 16-inch sterling silver cable, allowing it to be worn immediately as a striking necklace. The cable may be removed whenever the piece is worn as a brooch.
