Enameling is of yellow hues with black center and lovely detailing. Marked to the back "David Andersen Norway Sterling 925S. Width: 1-5/8". Height: 1-3/8". The David-Andersen company was founded in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway by David Andersen in 1876. Andersen (184-1901) was a gold and silversmith with a keen sense of quality ad the high standards of workmanship. When David Andersen died, his son Arthur took over the company and changed the name to the hyphenated David-Andersen. As chief designer he introduced the use of enameling on the company's gold and silver jewelry and holloware. The new line was so successful that enamelled jewelry has become nearly synonymous with the David-Andersen name. The firm has remained a family business and is now run by members of the fourth generation, Uni and Jon David-Andersen.
