brand: Flora Danica Eggert

Flora Danica Eggert

In the heart of Scandinavia, a tale of artistry and nature unfolds, centered around a jewelry company that has captured the essence of Denmark's flora. This is the story of Flora Danica Eggert.

In the bustling streets of Copenhagen, 1953, Orla and Grethe Eggert, danced their way through life, their graceful moves captivating audiences across Europe's grand stages. But with the birth of their daughter, a new rhythm began to take hold; their love for nature and the rich flora of Denmark led them to a unique venture: creating jewelry that mirrored the delicate petals and lush greenery of their homeland.

What set Flora Danica apart was not just the beauty of their designs, but the technique behind them. Using a pioneering casting method, they transformed living flowers and leaves into eternal pieces of art. Each piece was handcrafted, ensuring that no two pieces were ever identical. A living flower or leaf would be taken, coated with silver, and then plated with 24-carat gold through electroplating. This meticulous process ensured that even after the base was destroyed, an exact gold or silver replica of the living plant remained, identical in form but timeless in essence.

Flora Danica's creations quickly gained popularity, becoming some of the most sought-after botanical design jewelry pieces in Europe. Their commitment to authenticity was unwavering. The company had a steadfast rule: the plants used must be freshly picked. This dedication to quality meant that even the company president, Hans Jorgen Buhl-Thomsen, who was Eggert's son-in-law, would often be found searching the woods for the perfect specimens.

Their artistry knew no bounds. From designing iconic maple leaf pins for the 1980 Winter Olympics to crafting a brooch for the Royal Court of Denmark under Queen Margrethe II's vision, their touch turned everything to gold.

Flora Danica's legacy continued through the generations. The Eggert family managed the company until 2005, after which it was acquired by the design duo, Anette and Wagn Ibsen. Under their guidance, the company expanded its offerings, introducing modern collections while still honoring the traditional designs that made Flora Danica renowned.

Today, Flora Danica stands as a testament to the beauty of nature and the artistry of human hands. Their pieces, especially those from the 50s and 60s, remain cult favorites among jewelry connoisseurs. Each piece tells a story, a story of Denmark, of nature, and of the Eggerts' vision that continues to enchant souls across the world.
