A silver bracelet, by Antonio Belgiorno and a pair of silver ear clips, the articulated bracelet composed of hollow domed links, clasp signed ‘BELGIORNO’, together with a pair of quatrefoil ear clips with ropetwist decoration and silver bead accents, stamped ‘900’, indistinct signature to the reverse, bracelet length 21.3cm. £120-£150 --- The Argentinian jewellers Belgiorno were founded in 1931 by Antonio Belgiorno and his wife Maria Angelica Morteo. Living in the Argentinian province of Còrdoba at a time when silver was not considered a suitable metal for the manufacture of jewellery, the preference for jewellery manufacture was gold. Belgiorno introduced his new bold jewellery designs in silver and his business grew rapidly. Soon the company was opening branches in several Argentinean cites - Rosario de la Frontera, Bariloche, Mar del Plata and Capital Federal (now known as Buenos Aires). With the death of Antonio in 1966, Maria Angelica and her nephew Juan Morteo continued the business and moved the main store to 1347 Santa Fe Avenue in Buenos Aires. Today the business continues under Juan Morteo's son, Darío Morteo, and his business partner, Silvio Faoro and is one of the leading jewellers in Buenos Aires.

In 1944 the N E From smithy was first registered in Nakskov. There are two distinctive periods of design within From’s production. In the 1940s, we see floral pieces with sinewy foliage details, and this style characterised his early years of production. By the 1960s, we see the introduction of bolder modernist designs. The designs are similar to many Georg Jensen pieces of this period. In 1960, From’s son-in-law, Hilmer Jensen, had joined the management team and after Niels Erik’s death in 1986, Jensen took over the running of the firm. The company was wound up a few years later.
