Both components carry hallmarks and the maker's mark, while the metal surfaces show a polished silver finish. The entire ensemble measures 48 cm high, 4 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. Created by David-Andersen of Norway during the period later than 1960, the pendant draws on a powerful Modernist-Brutalist inspired design with its distinctive slatted cage configuration. The necklace is supplied together with its original storage box. While catalogued with a room placement of not applicable, such decorative jewellery can be displayed within a home setting as part of a curated collection or worn as an individual statement accessory.

FAQs

Mid-century Scandinavian jewellery features clean geometric or organic forms, structural silver framework, and translucent vitreous enamel. Designers during the 1950s and 1960s focused on metalworking technique and bold, simplified colour palettes.

Norwegian enamel pendants typically consist of sterling silver (often stamped 925S) combined with vitreous enamel fused to the metal surface under high heat, sometimes layered over guilloche engraving.

Authentic pieces usually feature stamps indicating silver purity, such as 925S or STERLING, alongside maker marks such as D-A for David-Andersen, NORWAY, or specific designer signatures stamped into the metal.

Architectural silver torques and enamel pendants serve as statement focal points, contrasting structured suits, simple high-neck tops, or minimalist monochrome clothing.

Clean silver sections gently using a soft silver polishing cloth, avoiding the enamel areas. Never submerge enamel pieces in chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners, as harsh liquids can fracture or degrade the enamel coating.
