Bent Gabrielsen Pedersen (born in 1928) studied at the Danish College of Jewellery and Silversmithing which produced all the major artists in  Denmark. He was one of the first graduates from the college in 1953.

After he left college he was hired by Hans Hansen where he took over the jewellery design department from Karl Gustav in 1953. He designed smooth silver “boomerang” type bracelets and earrings and “atomic” jewellery with enamel for Hans Hansen in the fifties.

Although Hans Hansen and its designs were purchased by the Georg Jensen company in the 80’s, Gabrielsen had previously worked with them as an independent designer.
