All our jewellery is handmade on Åland – a tranquil island in the Baltic Sea, between Finland and Sweden. Here you’ll find our shop and workshop in the beautiful Maritime Quarter, right in the middle of Mariehamn.
Where is my jewellery from?
Guldviva was born in Åland in 1989, and has been made here ever since. For us, it has always been important to have full control over the entire manufacturing process, where jewellery production and sales go hand in hand. This way, we can ensure the highest quality and personal service. You always know where your jewellery comes from – from here in Åland.
Åland, my home and source of inspiration
Guldviva’s founder, head goldsmith, and designer, Maria Karlström, is the soul behind the jewelry. For her, Åland is more than her story and home; it is her greatest source of inspiration.
“For me, Åland has always been my great sense of security. This is where I can breathe in the calm, live, and create. I have always made jewelry based on my love for Åland, my home. Our nature here is so beautiful, and I have always seen jewelry all around me. Having control over our entire production is a strength, especially in a time when mass production dominates. It is something I want to hold on to and protect.”
