AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Danish modernist silver brooch – Bernhard Hertz (BH) – Sterling silver 925S – circa 1950–1970 – 5.4 grams

An elegant and refined Scandinavian design brooch in sterling silver, designed and manufactured by the renowned Danish jewelry house Bernhard Hertz. The graceful, openwork design evokes a stylized leaf or fern and beautifully showcases the organic language of form that is so characteristic of Danish modernist jewelry design from the mid-20th century.

The brooch is subtle, light to wear, and yet clearly present thanks to the flowing lines and the soft silver sheen.
