This mid-century modern brooch is made from sterling silver and enamel, originating from Norway during the 1950s. The piece takes a shield shape with a polished silver border, framing a textured, translucent deep red enamel surface that is decorated with a scattering of small raised silver spheres across the face. The reverse bears the 925S Sterling Norway stamp and the maker's mark for Knut Andreas Rasmussen, alongside a clasp in good working order. The silver components show a polished metallic finish, while the enamel displays rich crimson tones with a vertical linear grain. Measuring 3.5 cm in height and 3.2 cm in width, this small accessory is designed to be worn on clothing such as a lapel, scarf, or jacket.

FAQs

Mid-century Norwegian enamel jewellery is characterised by guilloche engine-turned metal patterns covered in translucent vitreous enamel, produced by workshops in Norway during the mid-20th century.

These pieces utilise sterling silver or high-grade silver bases decorated with engine-turned geometric patterns and fused glass vitreous enamel fired at high temperatures.

Authentic items feature maker marks or hallmarks such as 925S, STERLING, or specific maker initials stamped onto the reverse silver surface.

A colourful enamel brooch can be pinned to a tailored coat lapel, a silk scarf, or a plain knit sweater to add a focal accent to contemporary outfits.

Wipe the enamel surface gently with a soft damp cloth and polish the silver reverse with a silver polishing cloth, avoiding liquid chemical dips that may weaken the enamel seal.
