This is a fine sterling silver and enamel brooch from Norway. This maker is known for making flower enamel brooches in the 1950´s. The c-lasp and tube hinge makes you feel this is older, but I guess not. Most likely the flowers are handpainted lilac-bush. There is a branch-like pattern behind the enamel to create depth, that quite clever.

Thankyou Valentino97! There is a branch-like pattern in or behind the enamel to create depth. Tath's quite clever I think. I haven't seen these type of flowers before in Norweigan enamel pieces. I think it's lila-bush flowers which I like a lot in real life.
I ment to write lilac-bush.
I'd go for lilac too. Just beautiful.
Thanks Vetraio50! It's so nice when you realize someone is actually reading your posts :)
Thanks Mikelv85!

I've added some clearer photos.
Hello nutsabotas6! Thank you for saying that! I'm glad you think so.
stunning!!
Thank you Sean! I'm always amazed how often you manage to respond and coment, you're so kind.
Your very very welcome Elisabethan!! :)
Love the detailed flowers and beautiful colors!
Thank you very much Agram! I think this brooch is like a little painting and the colors are bright. I wear this quite often with a white sjal (swedish, sorry don't know the english word :), it bigger than a scarf).
Thankyou Toolate2!
So very beautiful.....:-)
Thanks Katzl and Inky for love and thanks inky for nice coment.

Thankyou CindB and DrFluffy for loveing this brooch :)
Very nice! I love sterling and enamel together!
Thanks upstatenycollector! I do too :)
Thanks upstatenycollector and Aura.
A bigger scarf on English is called a shawl!
That is called guilloche-enamel. Very pretty!
Sjal and shawl are probably pronounced the same, too!
Yes you are right Celiene, thankyou!
The mark on the left of 925 is most likely David Andersen 1888- 1925.
