This gorgeous large Sølje brooch dates to the 1950s. 830 grade silver is hand wrought into the shape of a crowned heart, adorned with cascading silver flowers and twinkling discs. Ethereal and dramatic.

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 2" wide and 4.5" long. The heart measures 2.10" by 1.32" and the longest drop is 3.25" long. In Very Good Vintage condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels.
