per borup design
Per Borup Design The story of Per Borup Design is also the story of one of the few remaining Danish jewellery companies that still manufactures all jewellery in Denmark – by hand. The best quality craftsmanship and precious materials are the main elements in this story about a goldsmith, who left his mark on Denmark for more than half a century. Elegance, beauty, quality and creativity are the pillars of Per Borup Design’s jewellery design. Inspiration is found in the contrast of smooth and rustic surfaces and the work with the precious materials, which are worked into organic shapes and symbols. Per Borup Design will always prioritize the noble craft, making each piece by hand, with loving care.
DAPHNE
A ring crowned by laurels In the 1960s Per Borup made a model of a ring inspired by laurels. He hand-modelled the 30 laurel leafs in silver, and shaped the top of the ring after them. Based on that ring the series Daphne was made. In Greek mythology, Daphne is a young naiad, the personification of the laurel. She rejected every lover, including Apollo. When the god pursued her, Daphne prayed to the Earth to rescue her, whereupon she was transformed into a laurel. As a token of his love for Daphne, Apollo always wears a crown of laurel leafs. With this design Per Borup was clearly ahead of time – yet the ring has a timeless quality to it as well; as modern today as it was when it was made some 50 years ago. __ 3

Hearts A mosaic of tiny hearts Based on the Hearts ring from the Changeling concept Stine Krogsgaard has designed an entire collection based on the heart-mosaic. In the collection there is a range of rings, a bracelet and two earring designs. All the pieces are made up by tiny hearts and each creation can be set with either many, few or no brilliants at all. From a distance the small hearts make an intricate beautiful pattern, but come up close and you will notice the many small hearts. It’s a romantic collection very much suited for engagement- or wedding-rings.

Changeling
Combinations according to style, mood and season As the ideal piece of romantic, joyful and fairytale-like jewelry, Kell Borup’s concept Changeling changes look according to any and all whims. The rings are made of a tall, open setting, where an interchangeable round gemstone or pearl is placed. When in use, the finger holds the gemstone securely in place in the ring. The collection is multi-functional, because Changeling rings and pendants alter their visual character according to the gemstone selected – and here, the love of colours comes in to play. By securing maximum wearability since both ring and pendant can be styled according to mood and occasion, a scarf or an outfit can easily be matched as well.

Open Your Heart The feminine heart
The Open Your Heart collection with the characteristic open heart is of a romantic light persuasion. Several of the rings have the open hearts sitting side by side all the way around the finger. The hearts are orientated top to bottom next to each other, angled towards each other. All the hearts are of a different size and height, making the ring very comfortable to wear. The different setting-heights also ensures added sparkle to the brilliants; no matter what time of day, light will always be caught in a gemstone, thus accentuating the architectonic angles of the ring, which is a distinctive feature to most Per Borup Design jewellery pieces.

Violina Gentle, soft and light For nearly a decade the Violina collection has been a solid stable at Per Borup Design. Kell Borup designed the jewellery series Violina in 2007 and ever since the collection has grown. One of the latest designs being a Changeling ring combining two of Kell Borups most innovative collections in one perfect match. Kell Borup named the series �Violina� after a beautiful, enrapturing woman. A lady of a gentle disposition and a soulful lightness and grace. Light, airy strokes are joined in soft arches, and the gentle forms are meant to recall bows of velvet, flowers and butterflies.
