David Andersen Norway Sterling Silver Uni Viking Pendant Necklace Circa 1960's

Markings: Uni D-A Norway Sterling 925 Design Unn Tangerud
Weight: 50.7g
An exceptional vintage Norwegian sterling silver necklace designed by Unn Tangerud for the UNI workshop of David-Andersen, featuring a dramatic sculptural pendant inspired by ancient Nordic and Viking-age design.
The large openwork pendant is constructed around a striking architectural framework of gently curved horizontal bars and geometric silver forms. Suspended throughout are multiple articulated drops composed of rectangular, oval, circular and diamond-shaped elements, creating wonderful movement and dimension when worn.
Deeply oxidized recessed details provide dramatic contrast against the raised sterling silver surfaces and emphasize the pendant's geometric construction.
At approximately 3 inches long and 2.75 inches wide, this is a substantial statement piece, yet its open construction gives it an airy sculptural quality rather than a heavy appearance.
The pendant is suspended from a substantial 24-inch sterling silver link chain that complements its strong Scandinavian design.
Tangerud's work for UNI is particularly associated with a distinctive combination of Nordic historical inspiration and mid-century Scandinavian modernism, making this necklace a fascinating bridge between ancient ornament and postwar design.
The necklace remains in excellent vintage condition with no significant damage or structural issues noted. The darkened recessed areas appear intentional and are an integral part of the design.
A superb example of Norwegian modernist studio jewelry and a highly collectible work by Unn Tangerud for David-Andersen.
About Unn Tangerud
Norwegian designer Unn Tangerud trained as a ceramicist at the Norwegian Arts and Crafts School in Oslo, graduating in 1956. Her jewelry later became known for its restrained yet primitive-modern character, frequently drawing inspiration from ancient Nordic culture and archaeological forms.
Tangerud designed for the UNI workshop associated with David-Andersen, and her work may be identified by UNI/D-A markings together with her initials or designer attribution. UNI jewelry was produced by several important Norwegian designers and represents a particularly collectible chapter of postwar Scandinavian jewelry design.
