Gullsmed Marie Mikalsen

Gullsmed Marie Mikalsen is a jewellery business with its own production workshop in Farsund, Norway. The goldsmith behind it is Marie Mikalsen Kjørkleiv. She started a workshop in the town in 2004, took over the shop in 2006 and moved to larger premises by the square in 2010. Workshop establishment, ownership change and relocation are separate events.

The workshop makes gold and silver jewellery and undertakes commissions, repairs and alterations. Norgeshjerte is a documented design from 2010 combining Norway's outline with a heart. A diamond can be positioned at a chosen place on the map. Describe the individual version and any stone placement rather than treating every example as identical.

Secondhand buyers should distinguish her own designs from other products sold through the shop. A receipt or box may identify the retailer without establishing the executing manufacturer. Preserve model details and commission records, noting later alterations. The goldsmith's personal name, the business and a particular responsibility mark are not automatically equivalent evidence.
