LEADING LADIES
In Celebration of International Women’s Day

In the lead up to International Women’s Day, we shine a light on the female designers who have produced some of our most iconic collections. These women helped shape Georg Jensen into the company and brand we are today, producing unique and bold jewellery for strong and independent women across the globe.

To introduce the American, and now London-based jeweller, Jacqueline Rabun, as a designer, seems somewhat simplistic. However, when considering her exceptional work — its organic forms and architectural moments; its rich, underlying narratives and intellectual approach to adornment - it is clear that Rabun consistently elevates the ancient craft of jewellery making to an undeniable art form. It is little wonder that Rabun has become one of the most admired contemporary jewellers of our time, and Georg Jensen is proud to consider her a long-term collaborator.

Torun, as she came to be known, was the most accomplished Swedish, female smith of the postwar era, but as much as her craft it was her very being - her vibrant and untraditional life – that made her a remarkable artist and woman. Torun was a voice of liberation and equality and multiculturalism of all sorts – women’s liberation, social liberation, racial equality, cultural diversity and much more. When Torun began collaborating with Georg Jensen in 1967, she brought with her a fresh, invigorating perspective and brought ground breaking designs to the brand.

An innate love of the forms and shapes found in nature combined with her sense of minimalism have made Danish-born Regitze Overgaard a pioneer of modern organic jewellery design. The elegant and fluid lines of her work show a sophisticated understanding both of the jeweller’s craft and a woman’s body. This is important in any jewellery–the interaction of the metal with its wearer. In Overgaard’s works, the form of the piece respects the natural curves of the body and accentuates it with a sense of style, elegance and individuality. Overgaard’s collection betray a keen eye for the sublime forms that exist in nature.

Known for exceptional interiors and distinctive lifestyle products, Kelly Wearstler is one of America’s most sought-after contemporary designers. her multi-faceted interiors reveal a rich sense of materiality, colour, and form, as well as a strong narrative approach – every space tells a unique and compelling story. Wearstler joined the Georg Jensen family in 2019 launching the bold and truly original Frequency collection. This clever collection reinterpreted the organic forms and crisp, modern lines that have been at the heart of Georg Jensen’s design language for centuries.
