Georg Jensen is one of the world's most renowned silversmiths. Born in 1866 and later a graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Georg established his workshop in 1904, having been a sculptor in his earlier years. Jensen's designs were unique for the time, as he did not follow current trends. Many of Georg Jensen's designs were inspired by his time spent as a child in the natural areas surrounding his home in Raadvad. Even today, Jensen's designs remain distinctive and highly recognizable. He rarely used precious stones, and often no stones were included in his designs. When George Jensen did include gems, they were often semi-precious, such as amber, green onyx, malachite, lapis, or coral.

In 1916, Jensen further formalized his business, becoming Georg Jensen's Silversmith. Georg Jensen continued to design exceptional pieces through the years while hiring many now-renowned silver jewelry designers who added to his laudable collection. These designers partnered with Georg Jensen to produce their works because of his exceptional skill in translating beautiful and artistic designs through silver into fine jewelry. This ability, coupled with the Georg Jensen smithy's outstanding workmanship, was a significant draw for top silver designers during this era.
