These beautiful earrings in oxidized silver were designed for the Østerdal and Hedmark bunad, but you don't need a bunad to make them sparkle. The motif is inspired by elements from a special heat solje (brooch) that is used in this district. Great dressed up or down, ornate or restrained. Perfect for gifting.

Master goldsmith Leif Johannessen taught at Bergen School of Crafts in Norway. In 1940, Leif and his wife, Betzy, moved to Voss ~ where Sylvsmidja is based still today. They stamped all the jewelry on the back with a J shaped like a drinking horn, so that everyone who bought it could be sure that they owned a genuine Sylvsmidja piece of jewelry.
Today, Sylvsmidja in Voss has 65 employees and is Norway's leading producer of bunad silver. Sylvsmidja's skilled silversmiths and goldsmiths have extensive experience and extensive knowledge of sterling silver.
