This elegant vintage Apple Blossom (Norwegian: Epleblomst) brooch / pendant was designed by Karl Jørgen Otteren for David Andersen in the 1960s. Crafted in sterling silver with finely executed kiln-fired enamel, the design features softly contoured white petals accented with painterly red tones and a warm golden center—an instantly recognizable hallmark of Otteren’s work.
Beautifully balanced and sophisticated, this piece is highly characteristic of Otteren’s Scandinavian modernist aesthetic. Designed with convertible wear, it can be worn as a brooch or used as a pendant (chain not included), making it both versatile and collectible.
