brand: Marius Hammer

Marius Hammer

Marius Hammer born in Bergen, Norway, in 1847. As a young man he went to Germany to study jewelry making, where he learned the demanding techniques of enamel work. When he returned home in 1871, he opened his own workshop in Bergen. What set his work apart was how he reimagined traditional Norwegian jewelry, using enamel in ways that were both bold and precise.

His skill was quickly recognized. By 1885, his name had reached the British court, and he was given the appointment of jeweler to the Prince of Wales. This honor reflected not only his technical mastery but also how his designs carried something of Norway into wider Europe. Collectors and aristocrats valued his pieces for their deep colors and intricate surfaces, while at home his jewelry became a marker of cultural pride.

The workshop grew, and Hammer’s reputation crossed borders. His use of vibrant enamel became the hallmark of his creations, something that could be spotted at a glance. Demand for his work remained strong for decades. Even when he retired in 1915, the shop didn’t close its doors. His sons carried the business forward until 1930, maintaining the standards their father had set.

Today, Hammer’s pieces are still sought after. Museums, collectors, and enthusiasts prize them not just for their beauty but for the story they hold: a Norwegian craftsman who, through enamel and metal, managed to weave his country’s traditions into the fabric of European jewelry. His work stands as a reminder of a moment when artistry, heritage, and innovation came together in lasting form.
