Since 1999

Mid Century Modern JewelryEffie Graa started up in 1999, as one of the first websites dedicated to Scandinavian Mid Century Modern Jewelry.

At that time little or no information about the jewelry artists from Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark had been gathered. We have spent, and still do, countless hours and days in libraries going through out of print books, scanning through newspapers, and reading the trade publications from the jewelry industry from the relevant era.

European Designer Jewelry by Ginger Moro offers an extensive view on what's what and who's who on jewelry making in Europe.Early on we were contacted by Marbeth Schon of the Modern Silver Magazine, who wanted us to contribute. We did so with great pleasure, and we were, along with Mod Jewelry lovers everywhere devastated by Marbeth’s untimely death. Further on we shared with Ginger Moro for her book European Designer Jewelry, whilst building up a collection of the jewelry we were acquiring knowledge about. You can read a bit more about us here.

It is with great joy and also some pride that we present a selection of this for sale on our site.
Have fun exploring!
