Karelian Plaited Ribbon Motif Plywood Earrings Black

Limited availability! Black Friday 2023 brings you the exclusive Karelian Plaited Ribbon Motif earrings.

The Karelian Plaited Ribbon Motif is now available as impressive black plywood earrings, offered in a limited edition and exclusively in our webshop and Kalevala stores in Helsinki.

Karelian Plaited Ribbon Motif plywood earrings are based on chain holders that were part of the impressive set of jewelry adorning the festive costumes of Eastern Finnish and Karelian women nearly a thousand years ago. Designed by Germund Paaer (1881–1950), the motif embellished with three heart-shaped charms was among the very first Kalevala designs introduced in 1937. Over the decades there have been numerous variations to the theme.

The plywood earrings are a limited edition campaign product. The earrings are made of Finnish plywood with connecting parts in bronze and hooks in gold-plated silver. Dyed on both sides, the reverse side unpatterned. As the plywood earrings are a special limited edition product, Kalevala Koru does not offer any repair service. When handled with care, the earrings will bring you joy for a long time. Please avoid exposing the earrings to moisture: do not swim or bathe while wearing them or store them in a humid place. Cosmetics such as perfume and hairspray will damage both the plywood and metal parts. Plywood is a relatively brittle material and does not tolerate bending.
