Liv Blåvarp (born 1956) is a Norwegian artisan who is known for her jewellery, especially her beautifully sculptured, spirally-shaped necklaces and bracelets consisting of small pieces of wood.
Since the mid-1990s, Blåvarp has gained international recognition for her creations and is now represented in the leading art museums of Scandinavia and North America.
[4] On returning to Oslo, Blåvarp joined the other metalwork graduates from the State College of Art in a group they called TRIKK.
[4] While she had earlier focused on metalwork, she quickly turned to wood as she found that unlike metal it presented opportunities for sculpturing necklaces which could please the wearer.
"[6] Although her basic material is wood of various types, Blåvarp has enhanced some of her pieces with bone such as ivory and whale teeth.
