Featured Georg Jensen. Sterling Silver.

Hello everyone. I have some ring marks '' Georg Jensen,'Denmark,925S and number 319'',according ''Georg Jensen'' Marks it was made 1915-1927 years. I'm not wrong ? Thank you guys.

 

Thank very much everyone.

 

The design looks more 1980s to me than 1920s, but I'm waiting for the experts to chime in.

 

Agreed but I am not a jewelry expert.

 

So far as I know, that Georg Jensen mark is still in use - the ring is a Kim Raver design, circa 1980s would be about right...

Thank you ''Cheryl''. I respect your opinion.

 

Dammit, don't know if it was my phone's auto-correct, or just a brain-fart - designer was Kim Naver, not Kim Raver (actress)...

KIM NAVER (1940- )
Karen Margrethe Naver (Kim) was born in 1940, and from an early age had an interest in art and design. After completing high school in 1959, she went to Paris where she studied art history for a year at Ecole de Louvre, followed by a year back home at the School for Interior Design, where she decided to work within the realm of textiles. In 1962, she began to learn in one of the finest classic Danish weavers, Lis Ahlmann. Kim quickly showed great talent and debuted at the Charlotte's Spring Exhibition in 1963.

Thank you ''Fid''. That ring has marks #5-[1915-1927 years].I already found a picture of the same ring but there is no description. I do not know how to believe this marks. Karen Margrethe Naver (Kim) was Design for Georg Jensen . I looked at her work and I liked it.[still looking]

 

It is not an old mark. Here is the Kim Naver designed #320 ring, bearing the same marks:

And her #321 ring, also bearing the same marks:

Here are the same marks on a ring by American designer Jacqueline Rabun, her 'Cave' collection not even introduced until this century:

I agree. As it says below, since 1945:

Note: The difference is in the raised letters for the old mark, and the incuse letters in the since 1945 mark.

Kim Naver only began to design for Jensen in 1971, so it can't possibly be a 1915-1927 mark. Below is a list of designers and dates, Kim Naver is halfway down the second row:

what mark is showing that it's from this Kim ?

 

If anyone is under the impression that Georg Jensen designers always have their initials/mark stamped, that's not the case, and the correct identity of the designers can be found in any number of ways, though some are common knowledge, with or without their mark. If the dating of the marks on this piece, or the attribution to Kim Naver seems questionable, then might suggest contacting Georg Jensen directly, or perhaps a knowledgeable dealer like Soren Jensen (not related) at Jensensilver.com


Am home now and ran through the Jensen references handy - this is Naver's page in the book associated with the Smithsonian's 1980 exhibit, 'Georg Jensen Silversmithy: 77 Artists 75 Years' (objects, photographs, and information provided by Georg Jensen). It states she started designing for them in 1971, and would seem she was still doing so at the time of the exhibit since an ending date was not mentioned:





From Drucker's 'Georg Jensen: A Tradition of Splendid Silver, 2nd. Ed. (2001), noting of designers, "Their initials are sometimes used to identify their work.":
