A pair of 14K gold earrings with faceted sapphires and old-cut diamonds

Gift from Estrid Ericson (1894-1981) to a close relative, likely in the late 1970s. Thence by descent to the present owner. Interior architect and designer Estrid Ericson, together with her mentor Nils Fougstedt, founded the company Svenskt Tenn in 1924. Initially, they designed innovative pewter items and soon engaged designers such as Björn Trägårdh, Uno Åhrén, Anna Petrus, and Tyra Lundgren. In 1927, the store moved to Strandvägen in Stockholm and expanded to include all aspects of home decor. The early furniture at Svenskt Tenn was primarily designed by Åhrén and Trägårdh, but this era came to an abrupt end when Estrid began her successful collaboration with Josef Frank in the early 1930s. Estrid Ericson held a unique position in design and interior decoration, drawing inspiration from her many trips abroad.
