Vintage silver jewelry is a wonderful world of retro, covering a very long period and a variety of styles. Once upon a time, silver jewelry was an unaffordable luxury. It was during this period craftsmen made bright unique jewelry, and sometimes from scrap materials, but the more valuable it was for their owners. Often inherited such pieces over time acquired the status of vintage.
Traditionally, Danish vintage silver jewelry is very popular among jewelry lovers and collectors. One of Danish silversmiths was renowned designer Chr. Veilskov, whose hand crafted brooches, bracelets, cufflinks, pins and earrings are rarity now. According to sources, the master opened his workshop in Copenhagen in 1963 and worked there for 23 years, until 1986. Unfortunately, the biography, place and date of birth of this talented Danish silversmith are unknown.
Inspired by the beauty of nature, the artist created exquisite jewelry with floral, plant and animal motifs. Simple and minimalist, sometimes modernist and filigree design (like the above bracelet) traditionally combined with the highest craftsmanship. He marked his products with the initials of his first and last name – C.V. or the stylized initials Chr.V (in the letter C) and 830 S, that is, sterling silver.
