VTG MCM Palle Bisgaard P. BIS Danish Sterling Silver 925 Collar Necklace Denmark 36G

As imaged.

The piece of jewelry pictured is a beautiful, minimalist torc necklace (also called an open neck collar or choker) made of solid sterling silver.

The design is an excellent example of Scandinavian Mid-Century Modern design (mid-20th century). The hallmarking (stamping) reveals all the important details regarding its origin:

•  
• P. BIS: This is the maker's mark for the well-known Danish silversmith Palle Bisgaard (active from roughly 1954 to 2000). His designs are highly recognized for their sculptural, fluid, and organic shapes, which are classic hallmarks of 1950s and 1960s Danish Modernism.
• DENMARK / STERLING / HANDMADE: Confirms that the piece was handcrafted in Denmark from genuine .925 sterling silver.
• 3: The stamped number is Palle Bisgaard's specific model or design number for this particular collar shape.

• Form: A contoured, open collar with an asymmetrical, dimensional twist that sits elegantly around the neck.
• Measurements: The inner diameter measures just over 4 inches (approx. 11 to 11.5 cm), which is a classic, close-fitting size for this type of rigid choker.
• Weight: 36 grams of solid sterling silver.
