Jørgen Jensen Pewter Pisces Zodiac Pendant.
This vintage mid-century modernist pewter pendant, crafted by renowned Danish silversmith Jørgen Jensen, is a striking example of Scandinavian modernist jewelry. It embodies both artistic craftsmanship and astrological symbolism, making it a highly collectible piece.
The pendant is made from pewter, a tin-based alloy commonly used in mid-century Scandinavian jewelry.
The pendant features a rough, stippled background, which contrasts with the smooth, stylized raised relief of the Pisces symbol.
The pendant is large and circular, designed for a bold, statement-making effect.
The central design showcases two elongated, stylized fish, a modernist interpretation of the Pisces constellation.
The fish are gracefully curved, swimming in opposite directions but linked in an almost Yin-Yang-like formation, reflecting Pisces' duality and fluid nature.
This minimalist yet expressive motif is characteristic of Jørgen Jensen's Scandinavian design philosophy, which emphasizes organic simplicity and abstract representation.
The pendant is suspended from a substantial, long-link chain,crafted in a silver-tone metal.
Jørgen Jensen was the son of the famous silversmith Georg Jensen, one of the most prestigious names in Danish jewelry design.
While Georg Jensen's work leaned towards Art Nouveau and nature-inspired silverware, Jørgen Jensen developed a unique style, focusing more on mid-century modernism, geometric simplicity, and pewter jewelry.
