One of Bengt Liljedahl's first jobs as a silversmith was in Torun Bülow-Hübe's workshop in France in the late 1950s. In 1962, his big breakthrough came after an exhibition of modernistic but at the same time playful silver rings at Konsthantverkarna, a more than 70-year-old association for arts and crafts whose importance for the Swedish modernist jewelry cannot be emphasized enough.
