FAQs

Norwegian silver enamel jewellery gained international prominence during the late nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries, spearheaded by prominent workshops such as David-Andersen, Aksel Holmsen, and Marius Hammer. Artisans combined traditional silver smithing with delicate guilloche enamel techniques, frequently producing nature-inspired motifs like butterflies, leaves, and flowers.

These brooches are crafted using sterling silver (often stamped 925S) or gilt silver (vermeil) as the base metal. The coloured patterns are created by applying glass enamel powder over machine-engraved or engine-turned metal patterns, which is then fired at high temperatures to fuse the glass.

Authentic pieces are stamped with makers marks, purity marks (such as 925S or 830S), and country of origin marks like Norway. Inspecting the reverse side for correct hallmarks and assessing the crispness of the underlying guilloche engraving helps verify age and craftsmanship.

An enamel brooch can be fastened to a tailored coat lapel, secured onto a silk scarf, or pinned onto a high-necked knit sweater. Collecting multiple insect or floral brooches to group together on a blazer lapel creates a curated, contemporary look.

Clean the surface gently using a soft, dry lint-free cloth or a dedicated silver polishing cloth, avoiding liquid polishes or ultrasonic cleaners that may damage fine enamel. Store the piece flat in a padded jewellery box away from humidity and direct sunlight to prevent tarnish and oxidisation.
