Necklace: Early 1940s Stigbert for Heribert Engelbert Tulip
An early 1940s Stigbert for Heribert Engelbert tulip design that is in excellent condition.
This piece reflects the initial work of some of the most influential jewelry designers of Sweden and has the early plant design language that was iconic for the initial years.
The piece has weight to it and a smooth symmetry that snakes when worn and chimes when held. The charms are pillowed with a dotted detail, but if flipped can be worn for a more polished look.
The clasp is simply a hook and eye. It is long and sturdy & doesn’t show signs of wear.
This necklace is such a sweet early piece from one of the most notable Swedish jewelry houses.

“Ateljé Stigbert is one of the best known producers of Swedish modernist and mid century jewelry. The style is mostly variations of plant motifs on brooches, bracelets and necklaces, but there are also strictly geometric and abstract pieces. Ateljé Stigbert was founded by the goldsmith Stig Engelbert in the early 1940's. Like several other Swedish goldsmiths of the time, amongst whom Sigurd Persson is the most prominent, Stig Engelbert had got his education in Germany, mainly at 'Kunstgewerbeschule' in Pforzheim. The Ateljé was organized as a modern branch within the older company 'Heribert Engelbert', and therefor the early pieces had two sets of maker's marks, that of the Ateljé and that of the company. From 1946 to the mid 1950s Sigurd Persson joined Stig Engelbert and designed models for serial production at Ateljé Stigbert. He started off with leafs and plants, and moved on to more abstract models. The greatest success was a collection of 'modular jewelry' from 1953 named 'Bowl and Cube'.” — T Niklasson Gallery
