FOUND THIS LITTLE CUTIE WITH A LOT OF RINGS RECENTLY DONATED TO MY FAVORITE THRIFT SHOP. IT'S SIGNED GJ & STAMPED DENMARK. I'VE REVISED MY DESCRIPTION AS MY FRIEND THINKS IT MAY BE GEORG JENSEN, HONESTLY DON'T KNOW! PERFECT FOR HALLOWEEN! ALSO PURCHASED A CONFETTI RING THAT MATCHES A NECKLACE I HAVE PERFECTLY! JUST FOUND THE PENDANT TODAY AT SAME THRIFT SHOP A WEEK LATER! LUCKY ME! IT'S SIGNED GEORG JENSEN SO NOW I KNOW THE RING IS HIS!
Looks like it's Jorgen Jensen (often confused with Georg) - here's a passage from a website I found with your owl piece:
"Another well-known Danish pewter artist/craftsman was Jorgen Jensen. Born in 1931, the son of a realtor, he’s often mistaken for the son of silversmith Georg Jensen, who had the same name. For a short time, he worked at Georg Jensen's workshop, but moved first to Montreal then Stockholm before setting up a studio from 1960-1965 in the basement of a building his father owned in Copenhagen. Jensen liked to work in pewter because he found it pliable and affordable. Unlike the other Jensens, he created simple, fine jewelry in pewter."
