Hearts for Valentine's Day? - January listings include necklaces and rings with heart motifs
Welcome to my web site featuring a wide range of Danish, Finnish, Norwegian and Swedish jewellery. I hope you will enjoy browsing through the pages and maybe find exactly the piece for you, whether this comes from Denmark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, Scotland or Germany. I specialise in vintage modernist Scandinavian silver jewellery but also carry some silver-plate, pewter, bronze and ceramic pieces. Whilst the majority of them fall into the category of Danish Design / Scandinavian Modern, I have also included Viking and Celtic designs as well as Art Nouveau and Art Deco. 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. It is designed both for the casual browser, who may wish to search for a specific item (product) 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 30 Danish designers/companies as well as 5 from Finland, 10 from Norway and a couple from Sweden and Scotland. Lesser-known designers with just a couple of listings,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 always be a work-in-progress, and will be updated regularly, as new items are loaded. Sold items will still be visible below the rest of the items by that designer, so if you have missed a piece, I may be able to find it for you on my next trip to Denmark.

HS huge heart necklace
click on any photo to see it full size
designed for Herman Siersbøl
This huge heart necklace could easily be mistaken for the one designed by Astrid Fog for Georg Jensen in the 1970s called 'Joy'. It is almost identical in design and size. I have included a photo of the Jensen necklace - it is the one on the black background - which will set you back nearly £700 in vintage condition.
But the necklace on sale here is not by Jensen, but by the prolific Danish silversmith Herman Siersbøl (see profile).What a fabulous look-alike and a lot more affordable.
