Kalevala factory tours
Guided tours at our factory in Helsinki
On the tour, you can see how our jewelry takes shape from the designer's idea to a finished piece of jewelry. At the same time, you will hear about the history and present day of Kalevala Jewelry, which is over 86 years old, as a pioneer of Finnish jewelry design, a responsible manufacturer and a philanthropist. As a memory of your visit, you will receive a small surprise gift from us.
Finnish craftsmanship
The factory tour begins with a gathering at the Kalevala Outlet & Experience store located adjacent to our factory, from where the guide will lead the group to the production premises. The factory tour lasts approximately 45 minutes. Please allow at least one hour for your visit so that you also have time to explore the Outlet after the tour.
Participation fee is €20 per person. Each tour accomodates 15 participants. Registration is binding, and the participation fee is non-refundable. If you are unable to attend, please contact info@kalevala.fi to transfer your reservation to a later tour.
You can find the dates of upcoming open factory tours and the registration button further down this page. Kindly note that unless otherwise stated, the tours are in Finnish.
We also organize private Kalevala factory tours for groups of 10–15 people on weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM. The price for a private tour is €300 per group. For inquiries about private tours, please contact info@kalevala.f
Kalevala Experience factory tours for groups
On the Kalevala Experience tour, you can also test whether the hammer and tongs will stay in your hands - whether the ring bends round and whether your finger dexterity is enough to braid bronze links.
The Kalevala Experience factory tour is suitable for example as a team day activity.
