New Silver Jewellery from Kalevala Jewelry

Juulia is the new jewellery collectiong from finnish Kalevala Jewelry. The collection includes bracelet, necklace and earrings in silver, gold or bronze.
Juulia's delicate ornamental themes have been inspired by the victory wreaths of the classical era. Heroes were crowned with a wreath, which also became a symbol of eternal life. In the Roman Empire style, glamorising the style characteristics of the classical era, the pure, classical approach was also reflected in architecture. The Juulia series of jewelry celebrates the timeless beauty of the style, using the victory wreath as the theme for the series. The series got its name from the daughter of Julius Caesar, perhaps the most well-known figure to ever wear a laurel wreath. Juulia’s wreath is embellished with genuine stones – red garnet, blue topaz or violet amethyst. Design by Tony Granholm.

You will find Juulia collection available online at Artic Design.

Marja Suna who was awarded the State Prize of Art and Design in 1979 and was selected as the Fashion Designer of the Year in 1998 says that there must be a message or a thought behind all creative work. As fashion artist Suna sees jewellery as an important part of clothing. She thinks about its usability and elegance and its suitability for daily use and for festive occasions. She defines her jewellery designs as classically modern as they represent their own epoch while a part already is on the look-out for new styles.

The reflection of light on surfaces is an important element in her jewellery and the inspiration for her design she gets from the nature. The artist experienses the appearance of the jewellery surface very important aswell as what it tells to its carrier.
