Dating to approximately the 1960s, the set beautifully reflects the clean geometry, experimentation and architectural simplicity associated with Scandinavian Modern design.The necklace is constructed from a series of individually articulated sterling silver links, each formed into an asymmetrical triangular shape with an elongated open center. The alternating orientation of the links creates a rhythmic, almost kinetic effect around the neckline, allowing the necklace to shift and move naturally while maintaining its bold graphic silhouette.The matching earrings repeat the same distinctive openwork form, creating a beautifully coordinated and increasingly difficult-to-find complete set.Warmind\'s work is known for its strong sculptural character and clever use of negative space, and this design is a particularly appealing example. Viewed against the skin or clothing, the open centers become an integral part of the composition, giving the substantial silver forms an unexpectedly light and airy appearance.The combination of sharp geometric lines and gently curved openings gives the set a wonderfully futuristic quality characteristic of the 1960s Space Age and Scandinavian Modernist movement. It is equally striking worn with a minimalist contemporary wardrobe or collected as an important example of postwar Danish jewelry design.A sophisticated and highly wearable vintage jewelry set for collectors of Poul Warmind, Danish Modern, Scandinavian silver, Mid-Century Modernist jewelry and 1960s studio design.Everything has recently been professionally polished and the earrings converted to pierced back/post back style with 925 stems and backs. Please excuse the lines or reflections, as they are shiny and hard to photograph.
