Welcome
Vintage Scandinavian Designer Silver Jewellery and Decorative Arts
Welcome to my web site. This is a new and exciting venture for me in 2008, and I hope you will enjoy browsing through the pages and maybe find exactly the piece for you. The site aims to be informative as well as a sales channel, so do take the time to look up the short biographies on the designers, and the more in-depth articles as they come on-line in the autumn. It is designed both for the casual browser, who may wish to search for a specific item type, such as necklaces or cufflinks, as well as the seasoned collector, who will probably want to search by designer. I will create separate listings for at least 25 Danish designers/companies as well as 5 from Finland, 10 from Norway and a couple from Sweden and Scotland. Lesser-known designers or those I have been unable to identify are grouped together by nationality. Advanced search features (tags) include specific gemstones or colours. This site will be a work-in-progress for a while, and will be updated weekly, as sold items will be moved and new items loaded within days of their acquisition. Later this year I will also be adding decorative arts made from ceramics, glass, silver-plate and wood.
We currently feature just one photo per item, but if you wish to see more, just email me and I'll send some. I also feature the signature mark of the designer and/or company on the designer pages.
Prices are listed in US$, £sterling and Euros. There is no V.A.T (value added tax) on any item, to any destination.
Shipping for silver jewellery always includes electronic tracking and insurance and will be calculated at cost by the value and weight of your purchase. Please send your email to me at scandinaviansilver@yahoo.co.uk for further information or if you wish to purchase any of the items which are depicted as one of a group. Otherwise just use the shopping cart! I accept Paypal as well as bank transfers from Europe & the UK, and UK personal cheques and postal orders. Returns and refunds will only be made if the buyer can provide evidence that the items are not as depicted and described.
