Professional restoration – when the traditional Norwegian silver needs more than polish

Over time, silver can become scratched, discolored, or have minor damage. There may be loose hooks, missing or bent parts. Our skilled professionals have extensive experience in restoring traditional silver, and use traditional techniques to breathe new life into old treasures. We ensure that the silver is repaired with respect for the original craftsmanship and details – whether it is a brooch, cufflink, belt buckle, or bag clasp.

Gentle and effective sanding

Arven offers gentle and thorough polishing of traditional Norwegian silver, whether it is for May 17, a wedding or another big occasion.

The result? A sparkling clean Bunad silver that looks like new – ready to wear with pride.
