830 silver brooch by Ossian Hopea from Porvoo, Finland, weighing 3.047 g, in very good vintage condition, no laboratory report, with a simple C clasp.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Special vintage brooch in 830 silver, originating from the Finnish silver house Ossian Hopea from Porvoo.
The brooch features a striking modernist design with an almost mechanical, geometric form. The combination of the smooth teardrop shape and the various disc-shaped elements gives the small piece surprisingly a lot of character.
On the back the brooch is clearly stamped with OH, the maker's mark of Ossian Hopea, followed by 830 for the silver content and the locality mark of Porvoo, where the company was based.
Ossian Hopea is, among other things, associated with the well-known Finnish designer Saara Hopea-Untracht, who designed jewelry for the family business. For this specific brooch however no designer has been established; therefore the piece is solely attributed to Ossian Hopea.
The brooch closes with a simple C-clasp, which functions well.
Dimensions:
Length: approx. 3 cm
Width: approx. 7.5 mm
Material: 830 silver
Hallmarks: OH – 830 – Porvoo locality mark
Origin: Finland
The brooch is in very good vintage condition, with light signs of wear appropriate to age and use.

Seller's Story
I am Melanie, a graduate goldsmith with a specialization in vintage and antique jewelry.
My love for jewelry has been with me since childhood: weekends I spent at markets and fairs, fascinated by the craftsmanship and the stories behind each piece.
After completing my training as a goldsmith, I combined my technical knowledge with my passion for heritage in my company Feniks.
There I focus on jewelry with character — carefully selected pieces in gold and silver, that exude quality, craftsmanship and originality.
Each piece of jewelry is checked for authenticity and stands for sustainable beauty: timeless, not trend-bound, and with respect for the craft.
