I shall be putting a link on below in my comments, which will tell you more about the work of Norman Grant. I have a few of his pieces on my posts. This enamel bracelet, I have only seen on this link, I think it is quite rare, the enamel pendant/necklace has several variations, but I haven't seen any with the stripes going through the bubbles. I love the colours, and the 3D effect. This range of jewellery is called Dust Jewellery and was started in the late 1960s. They both have the makers mark and hallmark on the back. The bracelet is marked for the year 1973/74 I also think pendant is of the same age.
I hope you read the link below.
Many thanks for looking.

How unusual and modern and fabulous Jean. Another designer for me to look up!
Wow! Beautiful pieces, very emblematic of the era!
Nice addition :-)
So interesting Jean! Beautiful pieces and great education! Thanks!
Yes they are very different Karen, I didn't particularly like his work when I first noticed them, I suppose they are pieces that grow on you. Thanks for your comment :-)
Thank you Kyra and Bluboi for your comments and interest. I'm sure some time in the future some of his pieces are going to be difficult to buy. Pat Cheney also has similar features in her work, it's interesting that they are both Scottish, and worked around the same time. Norman Grant works for De Beers these days, to my knowledge he doesn't design or make Jewellery anymore.
They are certainly unique! Thanks for sharing!
Many thanks davyd for you comment :-)
