This fantastic TESI silver cuff with amethysts has a strong Sami-influenced aesthetic, with clean silver craftsmanship, geometric etching, and natural cabochon amethysts. Points of design/historical interest: • The mark “TESI” belongs to TESI silver workshops, based in Finland. TESI was known for creating handcrafted silver jewelry during the mid-20th century, often incorporating natural stones and Sami or Nordic-inspired patterns. • The 1960 production date and personalized inscription give it a specific date, placing it firmly within the modernist era of Scandinavian design. • Finland’s silver artisans in this period combined clean lines with cultural heritage–this bracelet is a fantastic example of that. • The etched geometric patterns resemble traditional Sami motifs, particularly the use of repeating diamonds and lines. This draws a connection to Sami craftsmanship while blending it with a mid-century modernist sensibility. • The amethyst cabochons tie in beautifully with the Viking and Nordic tradition of using natural stones for protection, clarity, and elegance. All together, the bracelet is both beautiful to wear and a classic demonstration of midcentury Nordic design. Shipping to the U.S. or EU is always included. Show more
