Heather Whisper necklace

Heather is the soul of the Finnish wilderness – a small and tenacious shrub that covers the grey and hard surfaces of forests and cliffs with its soft, purple-red floral splendor. It is also the regional flower of Kainuu and reflects the strong and persistent character of the Kainuu people. In the Kalevala, heather represents a stubborn life force that survives in the most barren conditions, rising again and again, even when surrounded only by silence and winter’s ice-cold embrace. The imagery evoked by heather is full of shades of love and longing, like whispers from times past drifting by in the wind. When admiring heather, one can feel its quiet presence, which connects us to the past – reminding us that even as everything around us changes, the heather remains, grows, and blooms, bringing beauty and comfort to those who encounter it on their journey. The Heather earrings, necklace, and cufflinks, which we originally designed for President Stubb and his spouse during his visit to Kainuu, serve as the heart of this jewelry series.

The jewelry comes with an elegant gift box, and this story can also be found on the inside lid of the box.
