FAQs

Scandinavian enamel jewellery, particularly pieces featuring guilloche enamel on silver, gained international popularity during the mid-20th century, notably from the 1950s onwards, driven by renowned designers and workshops in Norway.

These pieces are traditionally crafted from sterling silver, often with a gold wash (vermeil), and decorated using translucent guilloche enamel where patterns are machine-engraved into the metal before applying coloured glass enamel.

Authentic items typically feature makers marks or designer stamps, standard silver purity hallmarks such as 925S, and characteristic craftsmanship including finely detailed engine-turned textures beneath vibrant enamel layers.

In interiors, small vintage brooches are often displayed framed in shadow boxes or kept in specialised jewellery storage trays. When worn, they add a pop of colour to lapels, scarves, or hats.

Silver enamel pieces should be cleaned gently with a soft, dry cloth to avoid scratching the delicate glass enamel surface. They must be stored away from direct sunlight, moisture, and harsh chemical dips.
