Georg Jensen and Vivianna Torun - a love story
The collection is given an expanded array of precious stones that gives the jewelery a kaleidoscope effect when the light hits the stones and creates a warm impression.
Vivianna Torun lived an untraditional and exciting life. After graduating in Stockholm, she moved to Paris in the mid 50's where she spent much of her time at Picasso and Matisse. This was where she created a name for herself with a circle of events consisting of Billie Holiday, Brigitte Bardot and Ingrid Bergman.
Despite its high-quality customers, Torun wanted to create so-called "anti-status" jewelry. The jewelery was a clear rebellion against the pretentious, and she chose to use more humble ornaments for the benefit of precious stones. Torun's design was sharp and inspired by nature's essential forms in a modern way - something that was unique.
Georg Jensen also launches the iconic Vivianna Bangle Watch now in rose gold. The time was first shown under L'Objet in the Louvre in Paris in 1962, and was launched by Georg Jensen in 1969.
