Guide to Collecting Scandinavian Enamel Jewelry Lois Olson

With over 600 color images and 150 enamel Maker's marks, Guide to Collecting Scandinavian Enamel Jewelry, features 100 registered enamel workshop goldsmiths, from the late 1800s to the mid-1970s. Each chapter contains a brief biography and photograph of the founder, clearly identifies the Maker's marks used and numerous photographs of the enamel work. Many call this the "Golden Era" of enamel jewelry. Even though this became one of the most prestigious fields of art in Scandinavia, surprisingly, there was limited information available about these Scandinavian artisans. Many faded into oblivion, their histories lost in out of print books or archives. Until now.
