"Pentti Sarpaneva (1925-1978) was a contemporary of Bjorn Weckstom and also cast many pieces of rough surfaced sculptural jewelry. The Sarpaneva name is well-known in Finland: Timo Sarpaneva, Pentti's brother designed glassware for Iittala and Pi, his sister-in-law was a textile/interior designer. Pentti was a graphic artist into his thirties, when he began assembling his original jewelry of objets trouves; bits of birch bark zippers, embroidery, and boat rivets, which he enameled. These were regarded as outrageous and not wearable by the general public. Tamed, but only slightly, he cast high relief pins in silver and bronze, which looked like frozen lava with rough, uncut smoky quartz centers, and small hanging chains."
