14k Gold by Björn Weckström for Lapponia, Helsinki

This rare solid 14K gold bracelet features alternating rectangular links with a richly textured, hammered finish and sculptural circular motifs formed from interlocking gold loops. The interplay of geometric shapes, tactile surfaces and fluid, openwork links creates a distinctive sculptural design.

Weckström (b. 1935) is renowned for his innovative approach to jewellery, transforming rugged textures and unconventional forms into highly expressive works. His influential collaboration with Lapponia helped establish some of Finland’s most distinctive jewellery designs of the 1960s and 1970s, characterised by their bold silhouettes, tactile surfaces and departure from traditional notions of ornament.

The back of one of the links is fully stamped with the Finnish hallmarks: Lapponia motif (designer/maker), crown motif (Finland), '585' (14k gold) & 'N7' (year).

It is in excellent condition (outstanding for age). The secure clasp with double safety clips functions perfectly. 

Measuring 19.5cm in length, the bracelet is best suited to a medium wrist. The width is approx. 9mm. If you are unsure about sizing, we recommend measuring the length of a bracelet you currently wear and comparing it with the measurements above.
