About Elvik & Co

Learn About the brand

In Oslo during the late 19th century, a silversmith named Nils Erik Elvik set up a small workshop. He worked with silver and enamel, building a reputation for careful craftsmanship. What started as his personal trade slowly grew into something larger, carried forward by his family.<br><br> His son, Nils Martin, took the craft in new directions during the early 20th century. He didn’t just repeat what his father had done but pushed into fresh designs, adding his own mark on the tradition. The family’s work was steady and deliberate, passed down from one pair of hands to the next.<br><br> In 1941, a third generation stepped in. Edward Elvik formally registered the business as Elvik & Co, putting an official name to what the family had already been doing for decades. Under his lead, the company became known for its enamel jewelry, the pieces stamped with distinctive hallmarks that collectors now look for.<br><br> Through the years, the workshop’s output reflected both continuity and change. The enamel work often echoed colors found in Norway’s landscape, and the silver carried the clean, sharp light of the north. These weren’t mass-made ornaments but objects that showed the rhythm of a craft passed through generations.<br><br> Even today, Elvik & Co operates with the same attention to detail. The jewelry connects back to Nils Erik’s first workshop in Oslo, while also carrying the refinements added by each generation that followed. What began with one craftsman’s skill has remained a family pursuit, recognized for its Norwegian heritage and the steady quality in every piece.
