Modernist David Andersen sterling silver pendant accompanied by its matching, original D-A neck ring, this design was created for Andersen by Bjorn Ostern and it’s called the “ship of good fortune”. Highly stylized and adorned with a beautiful aventurine set at its very heart, this is one of my favorite Ostern creations and I can tell you that the duo sits perfectly around the neck and is equally comfortable to wear. Not to mention timelessly gorgeous…
Size/Weight: pendant is 2 1/8″ tall by 1 3/4″ wide; v-neck ring is 15″ inches (inner perimeter including the 1/2″ gap) yet it wears longer because of the way it sits and relatively adjustable; 34.0 grams (for the set; on a postal scale)
Hallmarks / Date: both components fully hallmarked with Andersen’s logo as shown as well as “NORWAY STERLING” and “925S”; 1960s
Condition: excellent vintage with patina that is darker around the cut-outs forming the ship (you can always buff to achieve a cleaner look), having a beautiful stone, with no damage and no repairs noted
