More information
The head of Nordiska Kompaniet (NK), the grand department store in Stockholm Rudolf Kalderén commissioned Sigurd Persson to create a collection of '77 rings'. The collection was subsequently shown at NK in 1960. It met a great appreciation and some of the show went further and was shown in Germany and at Liberty's in London. The success with the rings encouraged Sigurd Persson to continue with another collection called ' 7+7 armringar' (7+7 bangles) which was shown at NK in spring of 1963. The present bangle was most likely among the ones exhibited here. The original box is included.
