This vintage silver pendant by Etsuko Minova is formed as a gently fanned, leaf-like shape with a softly curved, organic silhouette. The surface is richly textured with fine, radiating lines that flow from the base of the form, giving the silver depth and a quiet play of light. Small polished silver spheres are applied as subtle accents: a compact cluster near the centre and a few single spheres placed along the edges, adding rhythm and balance to the composition. A discreet integrated loop rises naturally from the top of the form, allowing the pendant to hang cleanly and with ease on a chain.
The overall impression is sculptural yet restrained, tactile but refined.
A matching pair of earrings exists within the same design language and is shown in the images for reference. Etsuko Minova Earrings.
Did you know that Etsuko Minowa, born in Japan in 1952, moved to Sweden in 1973 after an inspiring encounter with designer Sigurd Persson? She initially worked at Stigberts Ateljé for Engelbert before opening her own studio in Gamla Stan, establishing herself as a skilled designer and goldsmith.
