Bjørg

”(For me) It’s about defying conventions, finding the beauty in imperfection and creating something that not only looks good, but also resonates certain thoughts, opinions, emotions or even humor.” - Bjørg

The Collection
Yesterday, today and tomorrow. Where do we come from and where are we going?
This collection from Bjørg is inspired by the father of evolution Charles Darwin, and his works on the origin of man. In the landscape of things still untouched by human interaction are shapes and patterns created by nature itself and on its own terms.

Between past, instant and future; the meeting of time and space, is where we find the objects of our longing. Seeking the purities in nature and experiencing the mystique of unexplored lands, far away oceans with hidden treasures and adventurous forests.

Octopus arms tightly embracing raw crystals. The claw of a crab in black silver around your neck, the shiny skeleton of a snake around your wrist. Watermelon turmelins, left in their natural state, are armoured with gold and they now appear as relic daggers from our distant past.

Jewellery has always been a way to express something. Be it about our love, our style or our opinions, but as these objects travels through time along with us, they tell our story. They hold our memories.

Victorian Memento Mori pieces, surrealism and ancient rituals have had a major influence on the feel of this collection. The idea of travelling in time, in our recollection of dreams and experiences - through a piece of jewellery. Entering a chamber of curiousities is not only seeing the pieces but also entering one’s own mind and our own emotions. In this chamber one can find anything from magical miniature perfume bottles, skulls with antique-cut diamonds, and bone remains in silver, to a golden moth swirling around a lantern.

Each element in this collection can be perceived as a little storyteller and also a part of an even bigger adventure, but a few them stand out with humor and directness. Whether it be an intriguing quote, a cute message or even an anatomically-correct heart pendant; they all give the bearer an immediate understanding of their intention.

This line of rings is composed from a timeless aesthetic, with structural surfaces echoing the themes of the collection and like most of pieces can be worn by men and women alike.
