Josephine Winther

Josephine Winther’s “Rubyfruits” (2003) necklace dazzles with its playful balance of opulence and whimsy. Faceted red pendants, reminiscent of ripe jewels or festive ornaments, are suspended along a golden cord. The bold saturation of color combined with the soft luster of the cord creates a rhythmic visual dance that feels simultaneously regal and lighthearted.

The work transforms familiar symbols of luxury into something approachable and joyful. The repetition of the rich red forms evokes abundance and celebration, while the tassels add a final flourish of theatricality. Winther’s piece invites the wearer to inhabit a space where elegance does not have to be severe but can sparkle with humor and vitality.
