AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Rare Antique Georg Jensen Silver Brooch / Pendant – Design No. 79 (c. 1904–1915)
An exceptional and highly collectible piece of early Danish Art Nouveau (Skønvirke) jewelry, designed and crafted during the absolute foundational years of the legendary silversmith Georg Jensen.
This stunning piece features a large, oval cabochon rose quartz claw-set in the center, flanked by stylized silver flowers, delicate beadwork, and accenting dark labradorite gemstones. The piece retains its original brooch pin and features built-in loops, allowing it to be worn beautifully as a pendant.
Historical Significance & Rarity:
This item is an extraordinary find for serious collectors. It features the rare, earliest hallmarks used by the workshop between 1904 and 1915, including the early arched "GEORG JENSEN" logotype, the "GJ" monogram, and the "826S" silver purity stamp.
The 826S standard was only utilized during the very first decade of production before being phased out. Pieces from this specific dawn of Georg Jensen's career are incredibly scarce and rarely appear on the open market.

Period: Early 20th Century (circa 1904–1915)
Material: 826 Silver, Rose Quartz, Labradorite
