LAPPONIA by designer Poul HAVGAARD Close to the "Pretty Earth" model, this necklace is composed of a long chain and a mobile pendant whose stem ends in a ball that seems to tear. The model is signed and marked T7, making it a 1972 production. Chain length: approx. 70 cm (without clasp, to be slipped over the head). Pendant length: 15 cm. Gross weight: 47.3 g. A word from the expert: Poul Havgaard began designing for Pierre Cardin in 1969, and in 1971 became one of the pillars of the Lapponia brand. His jewels stand out for their size and 3D effect, akin to sculptural art.
