Mid century Scandinavian unmarked Nils Erik From sterling



This lovely modernist set of earrings, and a matching pendant was most likely made by Nils Erik From. As it is created with his signature, oxidized cupped disks and bezel set stones. The stones in this case are rhodochrosite. The set is unmarked, except for individual 925 markings on each piece. The pendant measures 2 inches from top loop to bottom.

Albert Scharning Scandinavian enamel heart and ribbon Brooch


 

Just in! 
Designed by Albert Scharning in 1950. This is lovely jeep red heart brooch is offset with a gold Vermeil ribbon.
Fully hallmarked on the back A. Sch. Norway sterling 925S. I have also seen this pin referred to as an Anthurium flower.
Doing research on this type of brooch, I found that Mr. Scharning finished his heart brooches with a C-clasp closure. In looking at the back of this particular brooch, I see that someone had taken it to a jeweler to have the type of clasp changed. This is a very delicate operation to do on enamel jewelry, but they succeeded. The replacement clasp is a much more secure option.
