Sigurd Persson was born on 22 November 1914 in Helsingborg in southern Sweden. He learned the trade in his father’s workshop, then studied at a school of goldsmithing in Munich and at the Munich Academy under Professor Franz Rickert. From 1941, he worked in Stockholm, where he held his first solo exhibition in 1950.
His best-known works include the “77 rings” series (1960), commissioned by the Stockholm department store NK, “7×7 bracelets” (1962), the Örsmycken collection (1964), “25 Cans – 33 Years” (1970) and “Nike from Dödevi” (1972). In addition to silver and jewellery, he also worked with steel: in 1988–1989, he designed stainless steel vases for Silver & Stål in Vingåker. Nationalmuseum in Stockholm holds 118 of his works, including the “Servus” cutlery and bracelets from the “Skål och ruta” series.
In 1955, he received the Golden Ring of Honour from the German Gesellschaft für Goldschmiedekunst, and around 1965 he became an honorary member of the London Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. He died in Stockholm in 2003, aged 88.
