BENT GABRIELSEN Vintage 18k Collar Necklace

Born in 1928 in Denmark, Bent Gabrielsen Pedersen was among the first wave of students to attend the prestigious Danish College of Jewelry and Silversmithing. After graduating from the college with a speciality in goldsmithing, Gabrielsen Pedersen apprenticed under legendary jewelers including Hans Hansen and Georg Jensen. Known for his elliptical and "boomerang"-shaped designs, Gabrielsen Pedersen worked primarily in silver, enamel, ivory, and ebony. In the mid 1960s, he dropped "Pedersen" from his name and continued creating under the name Bent Gabrielsen until his death in 2014.
