This original Modernist pendant, designed by Elis Kauppi and handcrafted by Kupittaan Kulta in 1962, features a striking polished turquoise cabochon set within a sculptural solid 14k gold geometric frame. Its clean, minimalist design and open form make it a versatile piece that can be effortlessly paired with your favourite chain.

Elis Kauppi (1924-2004) is known for his sophisticated Modernist designs that incorporated stones native to Finland. His innovative approach that centred on simplicity and form, put Finland at the forefront of jewellery design during the mid-century period. Kauppi's work has been exhibited internationally, including Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and the Pforzheim Jewellery Museum in Germany.

The pendant is fully stamped with the Finnish hallmarks: anvil motif (maker), crown motif (Finland), 585 (14k gold), town motif (Turku/Abo) & 'I7' (year). 

It is in excellent vintage condition with a perfect turquoise. The gold has a light patina commensurate with age. The chain is not included.
