Björn Ragnar Weckström (born February 8, 1935) is a Finnish sculptor and jewelry designer.
He graduated from Helsinki Goldsmith’s school in 1956.
Since the very beginning of his career Weckström has been a highly ambitious designer and artist.
At first his works represented clean Scandinavian style, but in 1960s Weckström found his own, totally new style which is closer to sculpture than traditional goldsmithing.
