Jørgen Jensen Pewter Pendant

Jørgen Jensen – Pewter Pendant (Design 88)

This striking vintage pendant by Danish designer Jørgen Jensen (Design No. 88) is an excellent example of mid-century Scandinavian modern jewellery. Crafted in cast pewter, the piece features a bold geometric relief pattern arranged in a woven, architectural grid. The pendant carries the original ‘Jorgen Jensen 88 Denmark’ signature stamp, confirming its authenticity and origin.

Dating from the 1960s–1970s, this design reflects the era’s love of clean lines, modernist structure, and understated Nordic elegance. The pendant retains its original matte finish, characteristic of Jensen’s pewter work, and is paired with a heavy, flat-link chain that complements the pendant’s strong graphic presence.

Condition
The pendant is in excellent vintage condition with crisp markings, minimal wear, and a beautifully preserved surface. The chain is solid and substantial, adding weight and presence when worn.

Story Behind the Piece

Design No. 88 is more than an accessory — it’s a fragment of Denmark’s mid-century design heritage. Jørgen Jensen, younger brother of renowned silversmith Georg Jensen, carved his own creative path by crafting beautifully affordable jewellery in pewter. His work is instantly recognisable: modern, tactile, and quietly expressive.

This pendant tells the story of an era when Scandinavian designers reimagined everyday objects with clarity and purpose. Each raised bar in the pattern forms part of a rhythmic grid, reflecting the optimism of 1960s modernism. Whether worn or displayed, it offers a connection to the timeless simplicity and craftsmanship that define Nordic design.
