Eggert vintage botanical jewelry – Flora Danica
Founded in Copenhagen in 1953 by Orla Eggert and his wife Grethe Eggert, Flora Danica is the most unique Danish jewelry company. The uniqueness of this jewelry is in the casting technique, and natural plant materials used as the base. Each piece is unique handcrafted jewelry of the highest quality. Indeed, all pieces are unique and no two can ever be the same. A living flower or a leaf taken as a basis, then coated with silver or 24-carat gold by electroplating. Even the destroyed base leaves an exact silver or gold copy of a living plant.
Noteworthy, botanical design jewelry pieces are among the most collectible of botanical style European jewelry.
