FAQs

Mid-century Scandinavian jewellery is characterised by minimalist organic forms, innovative use of coloured enamel, and high craftsmanship, often featuring stylised depictions of nature such as birds and flora.

These pieces typically utilise sterling silver that has been fire-gilded (vermeil) with a layer of gold, combined with vitreous enamel fired onto the metal surface to create vibrant coloured details.

Authenticity is verified through makers marks, silver purity stamps such as 925 or sterling, country of origin hallmarks, and the quality of the guilloche or opaque enamel work.

A vintage brooch can be pinned to lapels, scarves, or hats to add a focal point of colour and metallic texture, blending historical craftsmanship with modern styling.

Store them in anti-tarnish pouches away from direct sunlight, clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth, and avoid chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners which can damage delicate enamel.
