Modahl Peridot Diamond Brooch Silver the hollow drops are decoratedA substantial 18 carat gold brooch decorated with brilliant cut diamonds and two large peridots by the Norwegian designer Oivind Modahl (1916 1981). He pioneered the trend for artist jewellers to make truly unique pieces. Very few were sold outside his home country, so it's a delight to come across his work. In 1953 he opened his workshop in Oslo and this piece is signed on the back 'Oivind Modahl Oslo'. He is relatively unknown outside of Norway but
