In July 1960, international modernism finally arrived in Europe. That summer, the luxurious SAS Royal Hotel, the masterpiece of Danish architect Arne Jacobsen, opened in Copenhagen, and with it the style of American skyscrapers, the no-nonsense style of steel and glass, arrived in Europe. Towering over downtown Copenhagen like a great crystal, the building was a sensation. The sun was reflected in the facade, and the beautiful and the rich met in the spacious lobby with its free-floating staircase. Everything was designed by Jacobsen, from the furniture to the door handle. And everything glowed in subtle shades of turquoise, green and blue. Why this trip to the north? Let's put ourselves in a warm late summer evening back then at the hotel's bar. Ladies in elegant, clean-cut dresses, gentlemen in slim suits sipping their drinks, a piano playing. The sun is already low and illuminates the marble and wood lobby, refracted in the crystal and reflected in the gold of the ladies' jewellery. The present jewelry set consisting of a ring with matching brooch could perfectly fit this scene. Both pieces show up as abstract compositions of lattice-like triangular shapes offset against each other with curved sides. They are almost reminiscent of suspension bridges with their steel cables reflected in the water. Arranged diagonally to each other, a bottle-green tourmaline and a shimmering addictive pearl set colorful accents. The decorative set is perfectly preserved. The abstract design and bold colors give the jewelry set an independent design language that reveals the influence of post-war modernism. The result is two works of art that can be worn on the body, whose beautiful workmanship by hand is as impressive as their elegant design.
