Gullsmed Berglihn (Egil Berglihn AS)
Gullsmed Berglihn is the jewellery business Egil Berglihn AS in Gyldenløves gate, central Kristiansand. The business began in 1971. Svein Berglihn succeeded his father in 1994. Establishment and the generational change are therefore separate events in its history.
Remodelling and other brands
The business's own presentations show workshop work, including turning silver spoons into rings and wedding rings into pendants. The shop also carries other makers' jewellery, such as Opro Emalje and Rikke Harsheim. Distinguish its own workshop work, a commissioned remodelling project and an object retailed under another brand.
Identifying second-hand jewellery
An older Berglihn box or receipt documents a retail connection, but alone does not identify the executing workshop. Remodelling may alter the shape, components and marks. Describe the individual jewel and document metal, any stones, marks and known commission history. This entry concerns Egil Berglihn AS in the city centre; the surname alone does not identify every business with Berglihn in its name.
