Ingjerd Hanevold is a leading artist in contemporary
scandinavian jewelry making, her designs beeing higly appreatiated, and

Crafts Association, and now holds a position as professor at the Art Academy

and studies at The State University of New York and College at New Platz,
Metal Department 81-82, Ingjerd Hanevold has been working in her own workshop
in the tradition of small scale Arts Craft production. In 1992 she agreed
to design a quite large collection of silver jewelry named Henne
(meaning Her), for the David-Andersen company. The forms are simplistic
and geometric in repetitiv kenetic constructions that allows the jewelry
to reflect the movements of the body and so emphesize the sensuality of
the design, sophisticated and jet clearly inspired by nature and basic
experinces of being close to life.

and in Paris. Her works were included in an exhibition of Norwegian jewelry
touring Japan and Europe in 1988, at the Triennale of Europen du Bijou
