Lina Simons' design philosophy combines beauty, durability and usability
Jewelry designer and goldsmith Lina Simons' passion is designing new jewelry. Simons' sources of inspiration are nature, geometric shapes and everyday objects. Her design is clean-lined, yet lush, finished with a graphic touch. The three-dimensionality of the jewelry also allows light and shadow to play freely.
Lina Simons' design is based on hand-drawn sketches, which bring a personal and human dimension to jewelry. They illustrate how the look of the jewelry develops as the creative process progresses.
Lina Simons' design philosophy combines beauty, durability and usability. "High-quality jewelry can be recognized by the fact that it can be restored and polished over and over again - this way it can be passed on from one generation to the next, which I think is a wonderful idea. Designing timeless jewelry is my great love, and seeing it on someone is my greatest reward ,” says Simons.
"In addition to designing beautiful jewelry, I try to ensure that the design language of my jewelry is always interesting, and that my jewelry arouses the desire to wear it."

"The graphic design language of the jewelry plays with light on the surface of the jewelry. I wanted to make my own interpretation of the old good luck symbol, a four-leaf clover."
The magic of symbols
When you wear Kalevala jewelry, you become part of a chain of generations, stories and beliefs that stretches back through time. You may find that the magic of jewelry is still there.
