Kristin Selboskar

Kristin Selboskar is a Norwegian jewellery artist working with silver and enamel. Kunstbanken and Buskerud Kunstsenter document handmade earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets. Her output therefore covers several jewellery types, and enamel should not be treated as an obligatory feature of every piece.

Kunstbanken describes the enamel as a coloured glass material applied to the jewellery. Distinguish this from glued stones and ordinary surface paint when describing materials. Compare shape, coloured areas and construction with documented work.

When assessing pre-owned jewellery, retain labels, receipts and information from the artist or retailer. Examine clasps, joints and enamel edges for damage. Do not assign an unfamiliar mark to Selboskar from style alone, or assume a particular silver fineness without marking or other documentation.
