Welcome to my little world

There are thousands of jewelry brands.

So why should you spend your time here?

Perhaps because this isn't just a website with jewelry.

This is my little world.

My name is Jacqui, and I live in a small village in Lofoten. In an old barn, beneath Lofoten's highest mountain – Higravstinden – is my workshop. This is where every single piece of jewelry is designed and made by hand.

My workshop isn't perfect.

There's often a little silver dust on the workbench. The coffee cup often sits a bit too long before it's tidied away. And Kasimir, our red cat, constantly reminds me that a workday also needs a little cuddle break.

And you know what?

I wouldn't have it any other way.

My jewelry doesn't start with silver.

It starts long before.

With a walk along the sea.

The sound of the waterfall behind the workshop.

A shell I found on the beach.

A conversation with a customer.

A cup of coffee.

Or a perfectly ordinary Monday in the workshop.

It's these small moments that slowly turn into new ideas.

Before I started making jewelry, I worked for many years as an anesthetic and intensive care nurse. Life took a completely different turn than I had ever imagined, and the jewelry eventually became much more than a creative hobby. It became a new path in life.

Over the years, I have continuously developed my craft step by step. I love learning new techniques, exploring new ideas, and constantly developing. I actually believe that my curiosity is one of my greatest strengths.

Today, people from all over the world come through the door of my workshop. Some have found me on Instagram. Others discovered the small barn by chance while traveling through Lofoten.

Most come to look at the jewelry.

But the most beautiful thing for me is always meeting the people.

I love hearing where they come from, what brought them to Lofoten, and which piece of jewelry means something special to them.

Many come as customers.

Quite a few leave as people I hope to meet again someday.

This journal is therefore about much more than jewelry.

Here I will share small glimpses from my life in Lofoten, stories from the workshop, the nature that inspires me, Kasimir, favorite recipes, small adventures, and the everyday life behind the jewelry.

I hope you want to follow the journey.

Welcome to my little world.

Jacqui
