She was known simply as Torun, the most important Swedish silversmith of the post-war era. Her mother was a sculptor.
Growing up on a remote island, her mother’s artistic influence possibly inspired her to think of silver as assymetric and fluid. She called her jewelry “anti-status” saying, “I don’t want to design jewelry for the wives of wealthy men to keep locked up in private… Diamonds have a killing effect on women. You can see the diamonds, but you can’t see the woman.”
Her minimalist silver jewelry mimicked the flow of water and relented to the body’s contours. She ornamented her ideas with pebbles, granite, rock crystal, and quartz. Among her most important pieces were dew-drop necklaces, where a crystal drop is draped over the shoulder. In the book, Twentieth-Century Jewelry,
A dealer is selling a dew drop hair comb with 7 different colored quartz drops for $14,400.
However, the best place to buy the literature and jewelry of Torun is at Torun Silver in Sweden.
