AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
John Lauritzen – Danish modernist silver brooch – onyx cabochon – Ø 3.4 cm – circa 1960–1970
A characterful and sculptural brooch by the Danish silversmith John Lauritzen, active in the heyday of Scandinavian modernism.
The brooch is built from a refined wire construction forming a flower- or sun-shaped motif, with a deep black cabochon stone at the center, presumably onyx. This design type is characteristic of Danish modernism from the 1960s and 1970s, where form, structure and material are central.
The back is signed “Sterling John Lauritzen Denmark,” which confirms origin and authenticity.
With a diameter of 3.4 cm and a weight of 7.9 grams, this is an elegant yet expressive piece of jewelry with a strong visual identity.
A collectible piece of Scandinavian design, both wearable and aesthetically interesting.
Working rollover safety clasp
Dimensions: Ø 3.4 cm
Weight: 7.9 grams

Seller's Story
I have a passion for vintage design, and my objects mainly come from Scandinavia. I seek out unique gems that are then offered to new owners through this platform. I ensure that the objects are very well packaged so they can arrive safely. I hope that, through my circular mission of sustainability, these beautiful objects can be given a second life, serving as a good example for many others.
