This is a definite WOW set! Quite possibly a one of a kind set, that includes a pair of earrings, brooch and necklace. I have only ever seen one or two other necklaces that were similar by NE From but they were chokers, this necklace out does them by a mile. Set is Art Deco/Art Nouveau style Calla Lilies and has been oxidized in the center of each flower bloom to add depth and drama. Earrings are clip on style but the have a top loop so, included with purchase is a new pair of silver lever back earring findings so they can quickly and easily be converted for pierced ears. Everything has been professionally polished and look absolutely stunning!

Niels Erik From was born in Denmark in 1908 and trained as a silversmith. He opened a shop in 1931 from which he also sold some of his designs, but the N.E.From smithy is first registered in Nakskov in 1944. His son-in-law Hilmer Jensen joined the management team in 1960, and took over the firm in 1986 after Niels Erik's death. The company was wound up a few years later.
There are two distinct styles in the From production. The sinewy foliage and floral pieces were designed by Niels Erik From and characterise the early years of production, whereas the bold modernist pieces were introduced by another designer in the firm in the 1960s.
