Silver Nugget necklace by Björn Weckström
About the Item
Original Björn Weckström pendant necklace.
The link type chain, typical of Weckström's chain designs, is sterling silver and 43 cm long. It makes the pendant sit close to the neck, as if a unique drop of water was resting between your clavicles. The pendant (diameter 4cm) is made of acrylic with an air bubble protecting a tiny gold nugget inside.
It is part of the Nugget series, inspired by gold nuggets from Lapland. The uneven and matt aspect of the rough gold nuggets are used as a central design feature of this series that seeks to recognise the role of Nature as its own jewellery maker.
Björn Weckström is a Finnish designer and sculptor (born 1935). Formed at the Helsinki Goldsmith School, he started designing with a typical Scandinavian Minimalist approach, but soon found his own particular style. He mainly uses of acrylic, gold, silver and semi precious stones. Often asymmetrical, mixing rough and matt surfaces with shiny ones, his creations have a bio organic feel. Taking inspiration from nature, both from mineral phenomenon and living creatures, he infuses his designs with a particular touch that can give them an almost alien look. His most famous piece was probably the Planetoid Valleys necklace, worn by Princess Leia (played by Carrie Fisher) in the Star Wars movies.
He has realised several sculptures for the city of Helsinki and has been awarded many international prizes and honours, including the Ordine della Stella d’Italia and the Lunning Prize. He has had more than 60 exhibitions since the start of his carrer.
The necklace is stamped above the pendant.

- Man in Cosmos ring by Björn WeckströmBy Bjorn WeckstromLocated in Uccle, BEOriginal ring by Björn Weckström. The shank is made of sterling silver and would best fit a ring size 7,5 / 8.
