FAQs

Scandinavian guilloche enamel jewellery features translucent vitreous enamel applied over patterned metallic surfaces, most notably produced in Norway during the mid-20th century by renowned silversmiths like Hroar Prydz and David-Andersen.

These pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver, often with a gold vermeil wash, combined with fired glass enamel worked in traditional engine-turned or translucent plique-a-jour and guilloche patterns.

Authentic pieces usually bear maker marks or stamped hallmarks such as 925S for sterling silver alongside specific artisan or workshop symbols on the reverse side of the metal frame.

They can be worn as lapel or scarf accessories on tailored jackets, or displayed in shallow glass shadow boxes and frames as miniature works of art on a gallery wall or tabletop cabinet.

Preserve enamel jewellery by storing it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature shifts, and clean the silver components gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding abrasive dips that can damage the glass enamel.
