Henning Koppel, a seminal innovator of the modern Jensen style, studied sculpture at the Royal Academy of Arts and the Academie Ranson in Paris, and this early training shows in his wonderfully sculptural 'Amoeba.'   The ‘Amoeba’ for Georg Jensen is one of Koppel's most recognized designs, highly sought after and no longer in production.  The 'Amoeba' is featured on the cover of Janet Drucker's definitive and lavishly illustrated 'Georg Jensen: A Tradition of Splendid Silver,' and appears again on page 154.  

This extraordinary bracelet is a blast to wear… bold, stark and startling, it never fails to draw second looks.  The clever closure system is a matter of slipping the small ‘T-shaped’ end into the opening of the other end link and then maneuvering it, puzzle-like, cunningly into place in the last curve.  Please see Silverhuntress’s separate listing of the equally rare ‘Amoeba’ necklace matching this piece;  Scandinavian Modernism at its finest, the ‘Amoeba’ design is visually stunning and a ‘must have’ for the discerning collector.
