An oath to yesterday, an oath to tomorrow. Symbols and the longing for beauty were born hand in hand with humanity. People have used jewelry throughout the ages to show who they are, where they come from, where they belong and what they believe in. In ancient times, jewelry was sometimes left with the deceased to take along on their journey to the afterworld. Kalevala Originals jewelry brings ancient heritage alive – we can wear the same jewelry for the same reasons as our ancestors, generations ago. The beauty of jewelry never fades.
