FOUNDER & DESIGNER
Eventually, Ole Lynggaard returned to Denmark. Waiting for him was the love of his life, Karin – today his wife and muse for more than fifty years. Coming home, he was ready to invest in his future. In the area Hellerup, immediately north of central Copenhagen, he managed to rent a combined workshop and office space. He got out hundreds of sketches and ideas from five years of formative travelling and got to work. OLE LYNGGAARD COPENHAGEN was born. The year was 1963.
Ole Lynggaard’s namesake brand soon became the epitome of exclusive Danish fine jewellery design and craftsmanship. His sculptural pieces were in high demand then – and even more today. Devoted to accommodating the taste of a quality-conscious fine jewellery audience, the designer creates pieces of meticulous craftsmanship crafted from 18K gold and Sterling silver. Trophy designs are encrusted with white diamonds or nestling large solitaire gemstones of intense hues. Ole Lynggaard’s fascination with the organic movements and graphic elegance of animals is well-known from his coveted fauna designs. Still actively designing innovative fine jewellery collections, the brand founder shows perpetual commitment to his trade – and is living proof that true creative talent has no expiration date.
