This summer has unfolded as a season of movement.

It never ceases to amaze me how jewellery has become a bridge, carrying me to beautiful places and connecting me with remarkable people. Over the past months, I have had the joy of sharing my collection in Paris, Vichy, and The Hague, and next weekend I’ll be in Amsterdam.

For now, I’ve returned to the Swedish archipelago—a place that always restores my perspective. These days are devoted to inspiration, long walks, and photography before I head to Stockholm next week to explore new spaces for the journey ahead.

I’ve also been fortunate to spend meaningful time with Kevin Michael at French Dream Castle. Some conversations stay with you long after they end, quietly shifting your perspective and leaving you with new clarity. I’m grateful for those moments.

In September, the journey continues to Athens, where I’ll be photographing in the holiday home of the legendary Panagiotis Chasapis - a place I’m looking forward to experiencing with fresh eyes and an open heart.

More than anything, this season has reminded me that the true gift of this work is not the places themselves, but the people they lead me to. Every conversation at an exhibition, every familiar face returning, every new connection along the way has become part of something that feels much larger than jewellery.

It feels as though, little by little, we are building a community rooted in beauty, curiosity, craftsmanship, and kindness. That is something I never take for granted, and it fills my heart with gratitude.

Thank you for being part of this journey.

An ode to my Swedish heritage.

A few quiet days in the archipelago north of Stockholm—the place where my family story begins.

Each time I return, I feel a little closer to my roots. There is a timelessness here that invites reflection, where the rhythm of the sea, the granite cliffs, and the wind through the pines seem to hold generations of memories. It is a landscape that has shaped my family for centuries, and one that continues to shape me.

As it often does, this place stirred something creative. Together with my dear friend—and closest island neighbor—ANNA | , I spent hours wandering across the sun-warmed rocks, following the shoreline, drawn by the ever-changing light. We photographed the quiet poetry of the archipelago: the weathered granite, the sea, the wind, the remarkable tapestry of moss and lichen, the little harbor, and the places that have become part of my own memory.

This series is dedicated to my beloved grandparents. I’m wearing a dress that once belonged to my grandmother, aboard the wooden boat my brother Karl and I inherited from our grandfather—a sea pilot, captain, and sailor who knew these waters by heart.

There is a quiet comfort in returning here. The landscape changes with the seasons, yet somehow it always feels the same. And in that constancy, I like to think that those who came before us are still present—in the sea breeze, in the smooth granite, and in the silence between the waves.

A glimpse into the landscape that has inspired so many of my collections.
Since childhood, I have spent my summers here—gathering inspiration from the calming rhythm of the sea, the smooth rocks shaped by time, the gentle movement of the wind, and the untamed beauty of the coastal flora. This place has quietly found its way into my work again and again.
My ancestors on my mother’s side came from this coastline. They were lighthouse keepers, sea pilots, and captains—people whose lives were deeply intertwined with the sea. I often think about their courage, resilience, and the world they inhabited, and I feel profoundly grateful to still experience these landscapes that shaped their lives and continue to inspire mine.
The organic lines of the shoreline, the weathered textures of stone and sea, and the understated beauty of nature all influence my design process. They guide me in creating timeless jewellery with natural, flowing forms—pieces rooted in Scandinavian simplicity, crafted to reflect both strength and quiet elegance.

The short classic version of our Swirling Wind stud earrings, worn by my beloved mother during a dinner in Montparnasse last week.

The smooth semi-mat “satin” surface brings a warm soothing glow. Each pair is made by hand in Auvergne in consciously sourced Sterling silver and coated with a layer of 18K gold.
