The back of the brooch is marked 'Sterling 925 S Norway' with the mark for the well known Norwegian jewellery designer Hroar Prydz,  circa 1950. There is a good fastening clasp at the back and the brooch is in great condition.

FAQs

Scandinavian enamel jewellery gained significant popularity during the mid-20th century, characterised by vibrant guilloche or translucent enamel work applied over sterling silver bases by notable silversmiths.

These pieces typically combine sterling silver, often with a gilt wash, and vitreous enamel applied using techniques such as plique-a-jour or engine-turned guilloche engraving to create texture and depth.

Authenticity is verified by maker marks, sterling silver hallmarks such as 925S, and traditional country of origin stamps, alongside the fine quality of the hand-applied enamel work.

Vintage brooches can be worn on lapels, scarves, and hats as statement accessories, or displayed within a home setting mounted inside a shadow box frame as miniature textile art.

Enamel jewellery should be stored away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, kept safe from impacts that could chip the glass surface, and cleaned gently with a soft dry cloth without harsh chemical dips.
