Small gemstones locked in sapphire crystal, pearls that become emoticons: the novelties of Bjork Jewelery ♦ ︎
Bjorg Nordli-Mathisen is a charming Norwegian designer living in Oslo. She started her work in textiles, but from 2004 she moved to jewelry. Bjorg Jewelery does not produce pieces that cost figures to many zeros. Indeed, prices are cheap. But in return his silver and bronze jewels, sometimes gold-plated, with precious little stones, have an unmistakable style, which appeals to lovers of minimalism and Nordic design.
The stones are used rough or poorly worked, the metals are often a bit ‘irregular, because the jewels are handmade and the emphasis is on production that is sustainable.
Although the style of the collections is in line with the latitude in which they are conceived, Bjork adds to the jewels a bit of irony. For example, in earrings or rings that transform a baroque pearl into an emoticon. Or in the series of letters of the alphabet composed of a female silhouette. The prices of Bjork jewels start from a few hundred euros to go up to about 1500 euros with silver necklaces with a pendant that contains small precious stones encased in sapphire glass.
