Hammer lived from 1847-1927 and worked in Bergen, Norway. This drop necklace features flowers and drops of bright spring green and matte what enamel with that velvety look that Hammer was a master of. Chains of silver weave throughout this necklace, piecing together a lovely statement piece of swirls, loops, and twists. This piece weighs 10.3 grams and measures 16 inches in length. It has been acid tested. A mark on the back reads, ‘930S’, indicating fine silver and it bears the hallmark of the M with a hammer forming the center.

Wearable on a Saturday night date, give-able for a wedding present, presentable at a cocktail party, and more than reasonable for showing off, this necklace would also make a supreme addition to a collection of the works of this important artist! See less
