14k Gold Bracelet by Björn Weckström for Lapponia, Helsinki

This beautiful hand-crafted Brutalist bracelet features solid 14k gold textured gold links. The timeless design, which dates back to the 1970s, is by one of Finland's most famous jewellery designers and sculptors Björn Weckström!

Weckström (1935- ) is known for his distinctive, nature inspired designs with Lapponia Jewellery, which gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s. His creations often feature bold, organic forms and textured surfaces. 

The jump ring is stamped with the Finnish hallmarks: Lapponia motif (designer/maker), 585 (14k gold), crown motif (Finland) & Helsinki motif. Due to the small surface area, the year stamp is hard to distinguish. 

It is in excellent vintage condition (outstanding for age) and the links retain their original shape well. The secure clasp functions perfectly. 

The bracelet is 21cm long and can be worn both snug and loose. If you're unsure about sizing, it is recommended that you measure a bracelet you currently wear to see if you're a similar size. The links are approx. 23mm long and can be removed by a jeweller for a smaller fit.
