Skåne province, in the extreme south of Sweden, has the richest tradition, and more jewellery was worn there than in any other district.   Almost all the Swedish traditional jewellery at the V&A comes from Skåne.  \r\n\r\nA well-dressed woman from Skåne wore multiple pairs of silver clasps along the front edges of her outer clothes.  Some of these were functional, and hooked into each other.  Others were purely ornamental.  \r\n\r\nHeart-shaped clasps like these were originally worn as cloak clasps, but by the 19th century they had moved to the outer jacket, and were often purely decorative.  Clasps decorated with filigree were a speciality of the silversmiths in Lund and Ystad.  This pair is marked with the maker's mark JW.  Jonas Wahlberg was a prolific maker of traditional jewellery, who worked in Ystad from 1834 to 1859.","physicalDescription":"Two-part silver filigree clasp set with blue pastes.  Each part consists of a flat heart-shaped back with an open filigree front clipped to it.  There is an oval facetted blue paste set in the centre of each part.  There are four holes round the edges of each part, for attachment.  There is a loop on the inner edge of one part, and a corresponding forward-curved hook, with simple geometric engraving, on the other.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"wahlberg","id":"A19900"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"},{"text":"paste","id":"AAT10803"}],"techniques":[{"text":"filigree","id":"x35885"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Sheet silver with silver filigree overlay set with blue facetted pastes","categories":[{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"},{"text":"Traditional jewellery (Europe)","id":"THES270343"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2006BJ2804","2006BJ2805","2017KC7736","2017KC7737","2017KC7738","2017KC7739","2017KC7740"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"029","id":"THES404424"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Clasp","id":"AAT239507"}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Ystad","id":"x40850"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""},{"place":{"text":"Ingelstad","id":"x42968"},"association":{"text":"worn","id":"x34724"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"1834-1859","earliest":"1834-01-01","latest":"1859-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"29","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"18/11/16","earliest":"2016-11-18","latest":"2016-11-18"},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"68","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"18/11/16","earliest":"2016-11-18","latest":"2016-11-18"},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"7","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"18/11/16","earliest":"2016-11-18","latest":"2016-11-18"},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'J.W' in rectangular frame.","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"Mark of Jonas Wahlberg, of Ystad.","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Marked twice on each part."}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Silver filigree clasp set with blue facetted pastes, Skåne (Sweden), 1834-1859.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["456-1886"],"accessionNumberNum":"456","accessionNumberPrefix":"","accessionYear":1886,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":["2017KB6057"],"recordModificationDate":"2026-04-16","recordCreationDate":"2009-06-24","availableToBook":true}}
