intage Norwegian 830 Silver Sølje Wedding Brooch

A beautiful traditional Norwegian Sølje brooch, crafted in 830 silver with delicate filigree and scrollwork decoration.

The circular brooch is embellished with a series of articulated teardrop-shaped dangles in a wonderfully bright gold-washed finish. These highly reflective little “spoon” drops catch the light beautifully and create gentle movement when the brooch is worn.

The reverse retains its traditional long pin and C-shaped clasp, a fastening commonly found on Norwegian Sølje jewellery. Based on its construction and style, this appears to be a mid-20th-century example, although an exact date cannot be confirmed.

Marked: 830
Diameter: approx. 2.5 cm, excluding the dangling elements
Origin: Norway
Material: 830 silver with gold-washed dangles

Condition: Very good vintage condition. The intricate filigree work is beautifully preserved and the gold-coloured dangles remain particularly bright and reflective. The fastening is intact. Please study all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.

A charming example of traditional Norwegian folk jewellery, traditionally associated with Sølje / wedding and Bunad jewellery.
