This especially rare Georg Jensen pendant, which includes the original paperclip link chain, is the essence of Georg Jensen's art nouveau designs. The necklace's center displays a large oval deep green, luminescent chrysoprase stone. Georg Jensen Jewelry estimates the use of the marks, and, therefore, the age of the piece ranges from 1915 to 1927.
