The makers mark of an "H" within a circle with "830S NORWAY" indicates that an item is made by the Ivar T Holth, a mid century silversmith in Oslo, Norway. The company was registered in 1943 and produced a large amount of jewelry, often using guilloche enamel. The mark "830" on silver indicates that the item is 83% silver, which was the standard before the sterling standard was adopted. Scandinavian silver is typically 83% silver and 17% copper or other metals. Solje is Norway's traditional silver jewelry. Its dangling spoons once were thought to reflect evil away from the wearer, protecting one from trolls and other dangers, especially in times of transition. Particularly appropriate for babies and brides. Will ship USPS with tracking to winning buyer
