This vintage mid-century modern brooch by Norwegian designer Aksel Holmsen takes the form of an asymmetric leaf motif rendered in sterling silver with gold vermeil. The curved openwork piece displays olive green guilloche enamelling across its surface, complemented by engine-turned patterns radiating outwards within a gilded border. The photograph reveals the pin and clasp hardware secured on the reverse, the subtle striations of the guilloche work, and the polished metallic finish catching the light. Measuring 6 cm in width and 2.5 cm in height, the brooch fastens securely to garments or accessories. Collectors of Scandinavian mid-century enamel pieces or individuals seeking a decorative splash of colour and style can incorporate this brooch into daily attire or display it among a collection of vintage sterling silver and enamel jewellery.

FAQs

Guilloche enamel jewellery gained immense popularity in Scandinavia during the mid-twentieth century, led by renowned Norwegian silversmiths who combined traditional engine-turning techniques with modernist geometric design.

These pieces are typically constructed from sterling silver, often finished with a thin layer of gold gilding (vermeil), and topped with vitreous enamel fired over mechanically engraved line patterns.

Authentic pieces carry makers marks such as the crossed pliers symbol alongside silver purity stamps such as 925S or STERLING NORWAY.

A mid-century brooch can be fastened to blazer lapels, heavy coat collars, silk scarves, or used as a decorative accent on structured canvas bags.

Clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners which can damage fine gilding or crack vitreous enamel surface layers.
