Theresia Hvorslev (1935- ) is a Swedish jewellery designer known for her modernist pieces created most notably during the 1960s and 70s. Often inspired by Nordic nature, her works tend to be somewhat stylised and abstract with a focus on the textural qualities of silver. Having apprenticed at Georg Jensen and worked for various silversmiths and designers, Theresia went on to establish her own studio in 1964. Following on from this she created significant works for the companies Alton and Mema and later created a number of small silver sculptures for the Swedish Royal family.
