Vintage Michaela Frey Enamel Bangle with Damask Motif

Vintage Michaela Frey Enamel Bangle with Damask Motif

This bangle comes from Michaela Frey, the Viennese house that defined Austrian enamel jewellery. Founded in Vienna in 1951, the atelier became renowned for its fire enamel technique — layers of enamel fired at high temperature — and for decoration as precise as painting. The house later evolved into the world-famous FREYWILLE, which makes this piece a genuine work of Viennese craft from the era before the name changed.

Across a white ground runs a quiet procession of damask ornament in brown — a pattern inherited from Europe's woven textiles and tapestries, redrawn here in enamel. Classic and quietly intellectual, the slim band traces a delicate line of light along the wrist.

It is precisely because this bangle never insists that it becomes part of your every day. Worn alone, it reads as understated elegance; stacked with a watch or other bangles, it gives the wrist depth. The soft white ground goes with every color you own — the kind of piece you find yourself reaching for without thinking.

As a vintage piece that has lived through its decades, it shows some light wear and small marks in places — please confirm the details in the photos. We see these as traces of a life well loved on someone's wrist, a warmth that nothing new can offer, and part of this bangle's story. The overall condition remains good, with many years of wear still ahead of it.

Inside, the Michaela Frey signature remains. Now that the house continues as FREYWILLE, vintage pieces bearing this signature grow harder to find each year — a bangle with real collector's value for anyone who loves enamel jewellery.

Made in Austria between the 1970s and 1990s, this bangle has carried its time beautifully. Vienna's sense of beauty, for your everyday.

Flourish — Souvenir

Flourish is a collection of floral motifs that have been loved across generations. Delicate, but never fragile — flowers that bloomed decades ago, still beautiful today. That is what this collection has always been about.

This time, a special edition: flowers brought home from a journey.

The first city is Rome. In its workshops, micromosaic takes shape through a technique called millefiori — Italian for "a thousand flowers" — where tiny fragments of glass become blossoms, one by one. Travellers on the Grand Tour once carried these pieces home as memories they could wear. The very first souvenir jewellery.

The second city is Vienna. Here the flowers bloom indoors — in enamel, across a bangle, and in a cameo with the quiet poise of a Viennese salon. Less sunlight, more stillness; the kind of elegance that belongs to a beautiful room.

The light of Italy, and the quiet of Vienna. A small itinerary through two cities, gathering flowers that outlast their time. The Souvenir Edition is a one-time arrangement.

A memory of travel, kept close at hand — chosen in that spirit, we hope these pieces find their way to the right homes.
