Born in 1866, Jensen was the son of a knife grinder in the town of Raadvad just to the north of Copenhagen. in 1904, he risked what small capital he had and opened his own little silversmithy at 36 Bredgade in Copenhagen. the beauty and quality of his Art Nouveau creations caught the eye of the public and his success was assured. The Copenhagen quarters were greatly expanded and before the end of the 1920s, Jensen had opened retail in Berlin (1909), London (1921), and New York (1924). The ring is in good condition, with little wear. The ring is marked "Georg Jensen Sterling Denmark G.J L 91 .925." The ring is a 3 3/4 size
