Swedish Blue

Inspired by Provence, Crafted in Sweden.
Our jewelry journey began along the vibrant coast of southern France, where the deep blues of the sea sparked a vision: silver paired with beautiful blue stones.

This uniquely radiant stone, reminiscent of the summer skies in Skövde, Sweden, became the heart of our handcrafted silver designs. Each piece tells a story of inspiration, discovery, and love for natural beauty.

We hope you’ll love these pieces as much as we’ve loved creating them.
