Anna Greta Eker rings were typically made during the 1960s and 1970s while she worked at the PLUS Design Center (Norway Plus) in Fredrikstad, Norway, with iconic designs like the “Jester” originating around 1958 to 1960. [1, 2, 3]
Common Anna Greta Eker Ring Eras
  • The “Jester” / Kulering (Ball) Rings: Designed around 1958–1960, featuring iconic multi-ball or sculptural arms.
  • “Prisme” and “Bend” Models: Specific geometric and hand-hammered abstract series often date to later in that decade, around 1968.
  • General Production: Most pieces bearing her “AGE” hallmark alongside the PLUS/Norway Designs stamp fall strictly into the mid-century modern 1960s–1970s window.
