More information

Inspired by the old nordic buckles and by the archeologically insired jewellery by danish goldsmith V. Christesen. The buckle was a well liked and frequent model in Mellin's production of jewellery insired by archeological findings. These were always decorated with filigree, granules and sometimes also with a pearl in the middle.
