Georg Jensen Jewellery: History, Collectability, and Selling Through Fieldings Auctioneers

Founded in Copenhagen in 1904 by master silversmith Georg Jensen, the Jensen workshop quickly established itself as a leader in sculptural silver design. Early jewellery pieces rooted in the flowing, organic forms of Art Nouveau set the tone for a century of craftsmanship defined by clean lines, natural motifs and meticulous hand-finishing. As the company grew, it collaborated with celebrated designers such as Henning Koppel and Vivianna “Torun” Bülow-Hübe, whose modernist creations helped shape the distinctive aesthetic now synonymous with Georg Jensen.

Today, Jensen’s jewellery enjoys a global reputation for timeless Scandinavian design. Its collectability continues to rise, particularly for early studio pieces, limited-production works, and items signed by key designers. With growing international interest in mid-century and modernist jewellery, demand for Jensen pieces has strengthened noticeably at auction, attracting both seasoned collectors and new buyers seeking wearable art.
