An extraordinary expression of Scandinavian Modernist design, this striking three-piece jewelry ensemble brings together the sculptural artistry of celebrated Finnish-born Norwegian designer Anna-Greta Eker, created for the renowned PLUS workshop of Fredrikstad, Norway.

Dating to the 1960s, the ensemble features an exceptionally dramatic sterling silver statement brooch accompanied by a coordinating pair of sculptural drop earrings.

The commanding brooch measures an impressive five inches in length, beginning with a beautifully hammered, open circular sterling silver form. Suspended beneath is a geometric silver panel supporting four articulated strands of richly colored wooden beads in alternating reddish-brown and deep espresso tones.

Each strand incorporates clusters of stained wooden beads, handcrafted-style sterling silver links, and graceful open-ring terminals. The resulting composition creates beautiful movement, texture, and visual rhythm—a quintessential example of Scandinavian jewelry conceived as wearable sculpture.

The brooch's combination of sterling silver and stained wood closely reflects Eker's celebrated Tre jewelry collection, introduced in 1966. This innovative series explored the striking contrast between cool silver and warm, naturally textured birch wood, demonstrating Eker's remarkable ability to transform simple materials into sophisticated Modernist compositions.

Complementing the statement brooch is a pair of beautifully formed sterling silver earrings featuring gently irregular, open teardrop silhouettes. Their softly hammered surfaces and sweeping curves create an elegant sculptural presence, offering the perfect balance to the elaborate kinetic design of the brooch.

Designed for pierced ears, the earrings are equally beautiful worn independently for a refined and understated Modernist statement.

About the Designer

Anna-Greta Eker (1928–2002) was an influential Finnish-born jewelry and industrial designer whose work helped define the Scandinavian Modernist movement of the mid-20th century.

After relocating to Norway, Eker became associated with PLUS, the influential applied arts center established in Fredrikstad in 1958. Working alongside prominent designers including Erling Christoffersen and Tone Vigeland, she helped establish PLUS as an important center for innovative Norwegian jewelry design.

Her distinctive creations are celebrated for their sculptural geometry, hand-hammered textures, organic movement, and imaginative combinations of sterling silver with natural materials.

Today, Eker's jewelry is appreciated by collectors of Scandinavian design, mid-century decorative arts, and distinctive studio jewelry.

A Collectible Modernist Statement

Whether displayed as an exceptional example of Scandinavian jewelry design or worn as an expressive personal statement, this coordinated ensemble offers the perfect marriage of artistry, craftsmanship, and timeless style.

The dramatic brooch is especially striking on a tailored jacket, leather blazer, coat, or luxurious knit, while the coordinating earrings offer a beautifully understated complement.

An exceptional addition to any collection of vintage Scandinavian Modernist jewelry.
