One of the things I appreciate about writing this blog is that I come across names I’ve never heard of who have a long design history. I’m familiar with a lot of Danish designers, but Kay Bojesen is one I hadn’t encountered. The brand does more than jewellery, and has a large range of housewares as well. It’s well known for these wonderful animal designs, and the monkey shown here is one of her best known.

It’s available in sterling silver plated with gold (vermeil), or sterling silver only. This one sells for USD$146.
