About the Item

Vintage Elis Kauppi for Kupittaan Kulta 9ct Yellow Gold & Akoya Pearl Pendant Circa Mid 20th Century 1960s -1970s An exquisite, authentic piece of Scandinavian design history. This delicate four-pointed star pendant was designed by the pioneering modernist jeweler Elis Kauppi for his renowned workshop, Kupittaan Kulta, in Turku, Finland.True to Kauppi’s signature space-age aesthetic, the pendant features a minimalist, clean-lined geometric yellow gold frame that beautifully suspends a single, perfectly spherical Japanese Akoya cultured pearl. Known for their intense, mirror-like luster, Akoya pearls were the gold standard for mid-century luxury exports. The clever open-back bezel setting allows the pearl to catch light from all angles, creating the illusion that it is subtly floating within the structure. This petite piece is perfectly scaled to be worn as an everyday focal necklace or added as a rare collector's charm to a vintage modernist bracelet.About the Designer & Workshop: Founded in 1945 by Elis Kauppi (1921–2004), Kupittaan Kulta Oy was an absolute powerhouse of post-war Finnish design. Kauppi was a true innovator who rejected traditional, heavy jewelry styles in favor of clean, structural, and kinetic forms inspired by the Space Age. His work helped place Finland at the forefront of international modernism. Because the workshop permanently ceased all production in 1997, authentic pieces like this pendant are strictly limited in number and highly prized by global design collectors.Item Specifications: Designer / Workshop: Elis Kauppi / Kupittaan KultaCountry of Origin: Turku, Finland Era: Circa (Late 20th Century Modern) Material: Solid 9ct Yellow Gold (Stamped "9K" / "375") Gemstone: 1 x Central Floating Japanese Akoya Cultured Pearl Weight: 1.4 grams Pendant Dimensions: Exactly 2.0 cm wide x 2.5 cm total drop height (including the integrated attachment loop) Hallmarks: Clear, fully intact stamps on both sides of the bail .
