The Jewellery Box presents a detailed view of one hundred years of Danish jewellery design. The book contains more than 600 illustrations and 190 biographies of Danish jewellery designers and silversmiths in a unique encyclopedia of design, stamps, silver marks, dates and materials.


The book title refers to the permanent exhibition of The Jewellery Box, which opened in 2017 in the historic ´Den Gamle By´ in Aarhus, Denmark. The book as well as the exhibition shows a unique collection of close to 1,000 pieces of jewellery accumulated through forty years by German collectors Marion and Jörg Schwandt.

The collection provides a comprehensive picture of the national and international trends in the 20th century that made Danish industrial arts world-famous.
