Weighing 3.0 grams, this vintage Mid-Century Modern Scandinavian charm features a beautifully stylized minimalist bear silhouette. Handcrafted in Sweden, it was designed by renowned master metalsmith Rune Tennesmed (born Rune Carlsson), whose chosen professional surname translates directly to "pewtersmith" in Swedish. The brushed pewter finish highlights the clean, sleek lines characteristic of his populist modernist style. The reverse side features the authentic, stamped artist hallmark reading: "R. TENNESMED SWEDEN".
