Born in Denmark in 1939, she was an apprentice to the goldsmith Poul Warmind and finished in 1961, joining Georg Jensen in 1962. The present design was introduced in 1963. She eventually attended the Danish School of Arts, Crafts, and Design, designing jewels for Georg Jensen in celebration of their 100th-year exhibition in 1966. In the 1960s, she had exhibitions in London, Brisbane, and Toronto, before eventually turning her artistic attention to painting.
