FAQs

Norwegian enamel jewellery gained international prominence in the late 19th and mid-20th centuries, with master silversmiths such as David-Andersen and Marius Hammer pioneering vibrant plique-a-jour and guilloche techniques inspired by nature.

These items are traditionally crafted from sterling silver, often with a gold wash known as vermeil, and decorated with vitreous enamel applied over engine-turned or hand-engraved metal surfaces.

Authentic pieces typically feature maker marks, silver purity stamps such as 925S or 830S, and hallmarks indicating Norwegian origin, alongside precise hand-applied enamel work without modern resin substitutes.

These wearable art pieces can be displayed on lapels, pinned to structured blazers, or mounted inside vintage shadow box frames as miniature wall art to add a touch of mid-century colour.

Preserve enamel pieces by storing them away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners, and gently wiping the silver with a soft microfibre cloth.
