Hi User,

It needs to be confirmed by someone more knowledgeable with Danish jewellery, but I think that is the work of Herman Siersbøl. He started on his own account in 1945 and died in an accident in 1964. The business was continued by his children and is now in the hands of Henry Siersbøl and his daughter Camilla.

Yes, Hermann Siersbol. The use of aurora borealis rhinestones indicates that the brooch is post-1955, when the iridescent finish was introduced.
