This 1960s Scandinavian Modernist brooch and pendant originates from David Andersen's Troll Series, designed by Unn Tangerud. The circular silver piece incorporates an openwork wheel motif with radiating spokes and a textured rim, centered by a round red cabochon stone. Stamped hallmarks on the reverse include 'Uni D-A', '925S. Sterling', 'Norway', and designer initials 'Inv. UT.'. A fastening pin and a pendant loop are attached to the back. The diameter width measures 4.8 cm. Collectors wear this piece as a brooch pinned to garments or suspended from a chain as a pendant. The silver construction contrasts with the vibrant red stone at the center. Clean geometric openwork and textured details characterize the mid-century design. The item suits a modern jewelry collection focused on Scandinavian mid-century silver works.

FAQs

Scandinavian Modernist jewellery, popularised during the mid-twentieth century, features abstract geometric forms, textured silver surfaces, and organic openwork patterns. Designers frequently incorporated cabochon stones or enamelling while focusing on sculptural form and clean metalwork.

Mid-century Norwegian pieces were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, silver gilt, and vitreous enamel, occasionally accented with natural stones or glass cabochons. Cast construction and textured, oxidised finishes were widely used techniques during this era.

Authentic pieces typically feature maker signatures, designer initials, purity hallmarks such as 925S, and country-of-origin marks. Detailed metalwork, solid structural integrity, and clear maker stamps distinguish original items from later reproductions.

While functional as attire accents on lapels, coats, or scarves, vintage brooches can also be displayed inside framed glass shadow boxes or mounted onto linen backing as wall art. Their sculptural metalwork creates decorative visual interest within curated interior displays.

Clean silver gently using a dry microfibre polishing cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips that can damage natural stones or strip intentional surface oxidisation. Store pieces in airtight pouches away from moisture to minimise tarnish.
