Georg Jensen sterling silver "The Splash" pattern number 88 bracelet, circa 1959. This magnificent sterling silver bracelet was designed by Henning Koppel in 1946, as pattern number 88, and is his interpretation of splashes of water. The links have a wide, chunky, open naturalistic form, high polished, and are finished with a fin shaped clasp.

This bracelet was imported into London from Denmark in 1959 where it was retailed, which accounts for the London import hallmarking.

"Henning Koppel experimented with organic and sculptural forms in his design and art, often drawing inspiration from nature. It should be noted that upon first glance, his designs might seem incredibly strange and abstract, though natural forms abound and associations with the natural world abound as one becomes more familiar with his designs. His works are unique also in that, though they draw from nature for inspiration, they are nothing like the Skonvirke artists of the past, with great acanthus leaves or bunches of grapes. Devoid of much decoration, they resemble also functionalist ideals, despite breaking with the functionalist traditions that preceded."
