Scandinavian enamel jewellery gained significant popularity during the mid-20th century, characterised by innovative silversmithing techniques and vibrant vitreous enamel work inspired by nature and modernist design principles.

These pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver, often with a gold wash or rhodium plating, combined with powdered glass fired at high temperatures using techniques such as guilloche or translucent plique-a-jour.

Authentic pieces usually feature maker marks, silver purity stamps such as 925s, and country of origin hallmarks stamped directly onto the reverse side of the metalwork.

These accessories can be worn pinned to lapels, scarves, and hats, or displayed within glass cabinets and shadow boxes as miniature works of art.

To preserve the fragile glass enamel and prevent silver tarnish, store pieces in anti-tarnish bags, avoid immersion in liquid jewellery cleaners, and clean gently with a soft, dry microfibre cloth.
