FAQs

Danish enamel daisy jewellery gained immense popularity in the 1940s, notably after the birth of Margrethe II of Denmark in 1940, when the royal family received a daisy brooch to mark the occasion. Master jewellers like Anton Michelsen subsequently produced extensive lines of vermeil and enamel daisy pieces that became staples of Scandinavian design.

Authentic mid-century Scandinavian pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver, often heavily gilded with gold wash (vermeil). Artisans apply vitreous enamel by hand to recessed metal cavities, firing the pieces at high temperatures to achieve a durable, glossy coloured finish.

Authentic pieces usually bear makers marks, sterling silver hallmarks, and specific designer stamps on the reverse. The quality of the guilloche texturing beneath the enamel, clean soldering, and hand-applied details distinguish genuine Scandinavian items from modern reproductions.

Vintage brooches add a touch of classic sophistication when pinned to the lapel of a tailored blazer, fastened at the collar of a blouse, or used to secure a silk scarf. Mixing mid-century enamel pieces with modern minimalist outfits creates an intentional, curated aesthetic.

Enamel jewellery should be cleaned gently using a soft cloth and mild soapy water, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners that can damage the enamel or strip the gold wash. Store pieces individually in lined boxes or pouches to prevent scratching.
