A beautiful antique Sølje brooch. This particular piece is an especially lovely example of Norway's traditional jewelry. 830 grade silver is hand wrought into exquisite designs, and the mirror discs twinkle and shine. Circa 1890.

Norway’s traditional silver jewelry is called Sølje, a word that means "sunny" and "shiny." This jewelry, usually brooches and pendants, is made of silver wire hand worked into the shapes of hearts and flowers and covered with dangling, shining silver discs. The discs act as mirrors, reflecting evil away from the wearer. Sølje jewelry is often worn by new brides, for good luck and to deflect bad luck and ill intentions.

Details.....The brooch measures 1.55" by 1.90". In Very Good Antique condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels.
