Born in 1928 in Finland she trained as an industrial designer.
Eker moved to Norway in the 1950s where she married Erling Christofferson who led the silver workshop at PLUS in Fredrikstad, Norway.
PLUS was established in the late 1950s & was an artist colony of designers & craftsmen producing silver, baskets, furniture & pottery.
Eker became one of the leading silversmiths at PLUS, most of her jewellery was hand hammered & often mounted with natural, uncut polished stones.
Eker opened her own workshop marking her pieces ‘AGE’, when PLUS closed in the late 70s.
