Materials
Our jewelry is crafted in a variety of shapes and materials, always bold and uninhibited. We aim to create visually pleasing pieces that not only wear well, but can also take some wear and tear.
The metal parts (hooks, hoops and chains) are nickel free and skin friendly surgical steel, containing no cadmium, lead or surfacing materials. Steel parts and sturdy and will not lose their color, staying bright and shiny without much maintenance. The parts are sourced from our long time partners in China and Hungary, imported ourselves.
Our text pieces are made from USA-based nickle free and non rusting aluminum, also used in the food industry. Aluminum is light, warm and skin friendly but also softer than steel, so a bit of wear and tear might be expected with heavy use. It is the nature of these pieces to live with the wearer, and life leaves a mark! The text is punched in by hand so each piece is a bit different from all others, all unique.
Laser cut acrylic and wood parts, earring stands and brown paper packages all come from a local laser cutting business. We’ve been working together for years now, so why change when stuff just works out? Acrylic parts can be rinsed with soapy water, but cleaning the wood parts is recommended only with a damp cloth due to the porousness of the material.
Emblem pendants (earrings, necklaces) consist of glass-covered paper. We do not recommend swimming or sauna while wearing these.
The stones used in our jewelry are entirely natural. Please note that each stone os different, no two are exactly alike.
The high quality leather used in our safety reflectors comes from our partner in Spain (EU), and reflecting parts are made in Stockholm, Sweden. Please note that leather is an organic material and will age with use. The reflector pieces are assembled at our workshop, or locally by our partners. The included decorative knot has been secured with a rivet – if it starts to loosen, it’s easy to fix. When attaching the reflector to clothing, pull on the leather cord to make sure it is well fastened.
Our silver ”Taste of Kouvola” -piece has been designed at our workshop, and made from start to finish at a silver jeweler in Kouvola. Taste of Kouvola is local co-operation at its best!
