A dream of a piece by Arje Griegst

The world-famous Danish jewellery designer Arje Griegst is one of the headliners at the Live Auction on 4 December, when four of his beautiful, distinctive pieces will be going under the hammer alongside other collectable creations.

Arje Griegst’s jewellery pieces are predominantly one of a kind. A centrepiece of the Live Auction is his unique necklace, bearing the poetic title “Drømmen” (The Dream).

The auction also presents two collectable rings and a pair of earrings by the master.
