FAQs

Scandinavian enamel jewellery, particularly from Norway, gained international prominence during the mid-20th century, characterised by vibrant guilloche enamel over sterling silver.

These pieces typically utilise sterling silver, often with a gold wash known as vermeil, overlaid with translucent glass enamel worked in engine-turned or guilloche patterns.

Authentic pieces are identified by makers marks or stamps, such as 925S for sterling silver alongside specific silversmith hallmarks, and high-quality craftsmanship of the enamel work.

These pieces can be worn on lapels, scarves, or hats as a focal point, pairing well with both neutral tailoring and vintage-inspired knitwear.

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