Ivar T. Holth 830 Silver Bunad Bracelet
 
A striking example of traditional Norwegian silverwork, this ravishing Ivar T. Holth bunad bracelet is crafted in 830 standard silver and showcases exceptional detail and craftsmanship.
The bracelet is composed of four rectangular panels, each beautifully embossed and pierced, allowing light to pass through and emphasising the intricate design. Each panel features four stylised floral motifs framed by delicate foliate detailing, creating a rich, textured appearance that is both decorative and airy. The openwork construction gives the piece a refined elegance while retaining the bold presence typical of bunad jewellery.
The panels are connected by fine chain links, allowing the bracelet to sit comfortably and flex naturally on the wrist. It fastens with a traditional box clasp; the push tab is stamped with an “H” within a circle (Holth maker’s mark) alongside “830S” indicating silver purity. The clasp itself is further marked with the Holth “H” in a circle and “Sterling Norway”.
The bracelet measures approximately 19.5 cm in total length, with a wearable length of around 18.5 cm.
 
About Bunad Jewellery
Bunad jewellery (known as bunadsølv) forms an important part of Norway’s national costume tradition. These silver pieces are worn with regional folk dress (bunad) during celebrations such as weddings, confirmations, and national holidays like Constitution Day. Beyond decoration, they historically symbolised status, regional identity, and even protection—silver was believed to ward off evil. Bracelets such as this would typically complement other elements like brooches, belts, and necklaces, contributing to a cohesive and highly symbolic ensemble.
 
This piece combines cultural heritage with timeless craftsmanship, making it equally suitable for collectors of Scandinavian silver or as a fabulous wearable modern statement!
