Space Silver: Iconic Jewelry from the 1960s
Planetoid Valleys and Darinas Bracelets: Enduring Masterpieces
The Quintessence of Space Silver
Among the iconic designs of the Space Silver collection, two pieces stand out as true masterpieces: the Planetoid Valleys necklace and the Darinas bracelet. Both designed by Björn Weckström in the late 1960s, these pieces embody the spirit of the era.
The Planetoid Valleys necklace, also known as the Planetary Valleys or Chalcedony waves necklace, is the most famous piece in the collection. It gained worldwide recognition after appearing in the first Star Wars film in 1977. Its unique design, featuring organic, wave-like forms, evokes the vastness and beauty of the cosmos.
Complementing the necklace perfectly, the Darinas bracelet features similar organic shapes. Its intricate, sculptural design showcases Weckström's mastery of metalworking. Together, these two pieces form a harmonious ensemble that captures the essence of Space Silver's celestial inspiration.
Throughout the 1970s, Weckström's innovative jewelry for Lapponia gained international acclaim. His playful, yet sophisticated designs broke away from traditional norms and celebrated the human form. Today, these pieces remain timeless classics, embodying the spirit of an era that embraced the unknown and sought to explore the boundaries of artistic expression.
