Handmade jewellery telling stories of the northern past and mythology
Käsintehtyjä koruja jotka kertovat tarinoita pohjoisen menneisyydestä ja mytologiasta
Handmade in Finland, this jewellery collection reflects a deep connection to Nordic symbolism. It’s carefully crafted from natural materials like clay, copper, gemstones, and glass. The pieces have a rustic, artisanal charm and an antique look that enhances their appeal. I make most of these items in small quantities, with some being one-of-a-kind pieces. Each piece is genuinely unique because I create most parts from scratch, using materials such as clay or copper.
Inspired by the Northern past and mythology, my designs feature motifs from Stone Age rock paintings, indigenous Finnish artifacts, and mythical animals like bears and ravens. Some of the pieces feature ancient runic inscriptions, including love poems derived from authentic archaeological finds.

You can purchase the jewellery on my Etsy shop or by contacting me here or on social media.
