FAQs

Mid-century Scandinavian enamel jewellery is recognised for the application of translucent enamel over guilloche engraved sterling silver, frequently featuring nature-inspired motifs such as leaves and flowers produced by silversmiths in Norway and Denmark.

Guilloche enamel involves mechanically engraving an intricate geometric pattern into sterling silver prior to applying coats of translucent glass enamel, which is fired at high temperatures to produce a glossy, textured finish.

Authentic pieces typically feature makers marks such as crossed pliers or the Norne trademark, accompanied by silver purity stamps like 925S or STERLING on the reverse frame.

A vintage enamel brooch can be fastened to a coat lapel, wool blazer, silk scarf, or fitted cardigan to introduce a refined accent of colour and geometric texture to contemporary garments.

Clean the item gently with a soft, dry silver-polishing cloth, avoiding chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, or prolonged submersion in water, as moisture can compromise the enamel backing and setting.
