FAQs

Scandinavian enamel jewellery, particularly popular from the late 19th through the mid-20th century, features vitreous enamel applied to precious metals such as sterling silver, often utilising guilloche techniques to create intricate patterns beneath translucent colour.

These items are traditionally crafted from sterling silver, frequently finished with a gold wash known as vermeil, and decorated with hand-applied coloured glass enamel fired at high temperatures to achieve vibrant floral and geometric motifs.

Authentic pieces typically bear makers marks, designer initials or hallmarks indicating silver fineness (such as 925S) and country of origin, often stamped subtly on the reverse side of the metalwork.

Vintage brooches can be pinned to lapels, scarves, or hats for wearable accessorising, or displayed within small glass dome frames as miniature works of art on shelves or mantelpieces.

Preservation requires storing pieces away from direct sunlight and moisture, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or ultrasonic baths, and gently wiping the metal and enamel surfaces with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
