How do I identify vintage Norwegian enamel?

Look for characteristic guilloche patterns beneath translucent coloured glass and maker marks associated with Scandinavian silversmiths. The metal base typically consists of sterling silver, often bearing hallmarks that confirm Norwegian origin.

Are these pieces made of solid silver?

Most items are constructed from sterling silver or standard silver, frequently finished with a gold gilt layer. The metal provides structural support for the vitreous enamel and filigree decoration.

How should I care for enamel jewellery?

Keep items away from harsh chemicals, abrasive surfaces and ultrasonic cleaners to protect the glass enamel. Store them separately in soft pouches to prevent scratches on both the silver and the coloured glass.

What styles are common in this jewellery?

Designs range from early twentieth-century Art Nouveau and Art Deco pieces to mid-century Scandinavian modernism. Common visual themes include butterflies, floral sprays, crowns and geometric guilloche patterns.
