NORMAN GRANT SCOTTISH SILVER MODERNIST ORANGE ENAMEL BROOCH PENDANT EARRINGS 60s
Extremely rare and beautiful solid Sterling silver and enamel brooch and matching earrings set by the Scottish designer Norman Grant, in lovely condition. The brooch and earrings are in his iconic bubbles design, dating from the late 60s to 70s. This is a rare early set from 1969 in the sought-after orange/purply colourway. No two pieces are the same due to the enamelling process. There is no pendant loop, but the brooch can be worn as a pendant by slipping a chain or silver torque through the pin. A fabulous set - ready to wear. Would make a great gift and/or addition to a collection. Norman Grant box included - there is some foxing to the box, but it does not detract from the set and adds to its vintage character.

The brooch is fully hallmarked for Norman Grant, NG, Scottish Sterling silver (thistle), Edinburgh (castle) and stylised date letter O for 1969. The earrings are marked NG and SILVER.

These gorgeous pieces inspired by nature would make wonderful gifts or treats for yourself. Nature offers solace in these challenging times and these pieces capture its beauty. Fab large size - brooch is approximately 2in in diameter; earrings 1.5in in length. Several pieces by Norman Grant can be found at the Aberdeen Art Gallery.

From their National Acquisitions web pages. Norman Grant was born in Forres, Moray in 1943 and studied at Grays School of Art in the 1960s. He was a student of David Hodge who established a goldsmithing and jewellery course at Grays in 1954, leading the department until he retired in 1975. Hodge remembered Grant as one of the students who made his teaching career memorable. In the late 1960s Grant began to design jewellery, initially working in a shed in his garden.

His preferred medium was translucent enamel which he combined with sterling silver... He was influenced by the natural forms of the coastal landscape he had grown up with. Inevitably these influences found their way into his early jewellery designs; microscopic plant cell structures, petals, stamens, seed heads, trees, driftwood, shells, seaweed, anemone-like forms and later fish, wave and cloud motifs can all be seen in his work.

All my pieces are original and not reproduction. All priced to sell to support the next generation in the arts.
