About me, my craftsmanship, the jeweleryshop and life in the artic.
I create jewelry inspired by the Arctic landscapes, giving my pieces a connection to the nature here in Spitsbergen. I have a dedication to preserving the Arctic's pristine environment and I want to be an advocate for sustainable craftsmanship.
Living and working in Svalbard, surrounded by breathtaking glaciers and the mesmerizing Northern Lights, my life as a goldsmith is a fusion of adventure and craftsmanship.
I have always had a burning desire to create, thats why i wanted to master the art of goldsmithing. Through countless hours of practice and dedication, I honed my skills, transforming raw materials into wearable art.
Living in this remote and captivating corner of the world, my designs are influenced by the Arctic's spellbinding beauty. Each piece I create is a reflection of the shimmering ice, the dancing auroras, and the untamed wilderness that surrounds me. I strive to capture the essence of this unique landscape and infuse it into my jewelry, so that wearers can carry a piece of the Arctic's charm wherever they go.
I am grateful every day for the opportunity to pursue my passion and share it with the world.
