Description:

Björn Weckström (Finnish, born 1935), Man in Cosmos, Sterling & Acrylic Ring, size 7 ring with sterling silver band set with acrylic bubble with blue-tone figure, the band marked '925, Sterling, Finland, BW' on inside.

Bjorn Weckstrom, born in Helsinki, Finland on February 8, 1935, is a goldsmith, sculptor and jewelry maker. Inspired by the nature and landscape of his native Finland, Weckstrom's jewelry and sculpture is characterized by its highly geometric, abstracted shapes and form, usually composed of rich, yellow gold and semi-precious stones. After studying goldsmithing at the Finnish Goldsmith School of Helsinki, Weckstrom quickly opened his first gallery which continues operating today, inspiring an emerging generation of Finnish jewelers. Later in his career, Weckstrom gradually scaled back the use of geometric, earthy forms and materials in his jewelry as he introduced more organic, plastic substances such as acrylic. The designer explained this decision as a deliberate reaction to the increasingly technological and space-age world in which we now live. (Artnet)
