About Georg Jensen brand
Danish silversmith and designer Georg Jensen based his vision on pure elegance and impecable craftsmanship. This
Georg Jensen started his apprenticeship at a goldsmith workshop at age 14. After he learned how to work with metals and studying sculpture, in 1904 he opened his own studio that later turned into a factory. Georg Jensen's silverware quickly achieved great commercial success. Being recognized for the high quality pieces, Jensen became the first silvermaker who was able to build a profitable business out of selling silverware. He expanded his sales abroad, again very successfully. Soon after Jensen started to design steel cutlery. That was another revolutionary and profitable move by the maker.
During its century long history, from making tableware to creating jewelry and watches, the brand represents the highest quality standards. While Jensen design carries the distinct Art Nouveau influence, his pieces always look contemporary. Architectural, flowing, sensual lines of Jensen's creations are immediately recognizable. He started from giving a timeless and artistic touch to the practical items. This approach has been extended up to today's designes singed by Georg Jensen.

This time frame comprises of Art Deco, Retro and Mid-Century styles.
Why do we love vintage jewelry so much? It's all about the quality of making and, of course, the aesthetic.
Vintage pieces were mostly made by hand or at least hand-finished while modern jewels are mainly cast. As the lifestyle back in the days was much slower, jewelry makers literally had more time in their hands. Skilled craftsmen honed their craft and reputation. They couldn’t allow a flimsy, poorly done piece to ruin that. Mass market jewelry didn’t exist at that time. Each little detail of a piece was executed thoughtfully and with the high quality in mind.
All the above is especially important when you are looking for a vintage engagement ring. If you want to find a special, one-of-a-kind engagement ring, look no further because we’ve got you covered.
