The popular Kalevala x Marimekko jewelry collaboration expands –  introducing jewelry in a new mini size in silver, gold and bronze

“Originally launched as part of the 60th anniversary celebrations of the Unikko pattern, the new additions to the Kalevala x Marimekko jewelry collection feels like a natural continuation of our collaboration. Marimekko and Kalevala Jewelry share the ambition to make quality design a part of everyday life. Unikko, symbolizing joy and creativity, has now taken shape as timeless Kalevala jewelry designed for both everyday wear and special occasions. Through Kalevala Jewelry’s sculptural design language and craftsmanship, Maija Isola’s design icon gains a unique and dimensional interpretation that brings the essence of the pattern to life in a new way”, says Emmakaisa Kirves, Marimekko’s Design Director, Ready-to-Wear and Bags & Accessories.

“The expansion of the collection ensures that our customers can find jewelry for many different occasions – continuing Kalevala Jewelry’s signature timeless design and lasting quality. The Kalevala x Marimekko collection has also attracted international attention, resonating with jewelry lovers around the world who appreciate Finnish design and craftsmanship. Every piece is handcrafted with care at our jewelry factory in Helsinki. Kalevala and Marimekko are both pioneers in Finnish design – Marimekko through its art of printmaking and Kalevala through jewelry design that expresses sculptural and story-driven aesthetics”, says Aino Ahlnäs, Creative Director at Kalevala Jewelry.

The new additions to the Kalevala x Marimekko limited-edition collaboration collection bring the recognizable design language of the Unikko pattern to mini-sized necklaces and earrings. The collection also features a small pendant, earrings, and an ear cuff in bronze. The jewelry is crafted from 100% recycled silver and 100% recycled 14K gold, as well as partially recycled bronze. The larger Unikko-themed silver pieces launched last year by Kalevala and Marimekko continue to be part of the limited-edition collection.
