About the Item

A pair of iconic 'Sling' Mid-Century Scandinavian ear-cuff earrings, made of gold-plated sterling silver. These are very rare in the gilded version. Can be worn in 2 different ways, perfect fon non-pierced ears. Made by Tone Vigeland at Norway Silver Designs / PLUS Workshop in Fredrikstad, Norway 1958. Condition: good original condition, some light scratches and scuffs. Wear consistent with age and use. Tone Vigeland (1938-2024) is a Norwegian silversmith and vintage jewelry artist with an international reputation. Born into one of Norway’s most famous artist families Tone Vigeland’s artistic training began 1955 at the Statens Håndverk-og Kunstindustriskole Oslo (today Kunsthøgskolen in Oslo). In 1957, she moved to Oslo Vocational College in order to be able to train as a goldsmith. In 1958, she became a member of the avant-garde artist cooperative Plus in Frederikstad, where several of the works she designed as a student are produced in series. The silver earrings fashioned from a simple loop are typical in their restrained simplicity and lines of the style prevalent in Scandinavia after World War II. Scandinavian studio jewelry is quite inconceivable without her and her oeuvre. Already in the early 1960s, Tone Vigeland’s jewelry featured regularly in what are today considered legendary exhibitions and publications, for example, in the 1961 “International Exhibition of Modern Jewellery” at Goldsmiths Hall London, which first presented to the public the emerging studio jewelry movement.
