Claës Giertta not only participated in the legendary exhibition "Nutidssmycken" at the National Museum in 1959, he also created the expressonistic cover image for the catalog which well illustrates his artistic style. Together with Rey Urban and Lars Fleming, he was part of the group "Tre smeder" with a great influence on the Swedish jewelry scene. Like most of his colleagues in the industry, Giertta moved freely between different genres and had, among others, a number of Stockholm-churches as clients. 1960 he designed the designed the cross Marget Sahlin wore when she was ordained as one of the first female priests in Sweden.
