Handmade Kalevala Necklaces in Finland

Kalevala jewelry honors centuries-old goldsmith traditions while investing in modern production methods and tools. The jewelry is made at Kalevala jewelry's own factory in Konala, Helsinki. more than 80 jewelry professionals work at the factory, and during the manufacturing process each pair of jewelry passes through an average of ten pairs of hands. Responsibility at the Kalevala factories has been taken into account not only through the materials but also in the jewelry production processes. The factory uses renewable energy, and the process water produced in jewelry manufacturing, for example, is cleaned before being discharged into the municipal sewer network. Part of the purified water is also recycled back into the production processes. In this way, the factory also takes care of a responsible production method when designing durable jewelry.

In terms of materials, Kalevala has invested in recycled precious metals, and the jewelry uses recycled gold and silver: the proportion of recycled material in gold jewelry is 100 percent and in silver jewelry 95 percent. The remaining 5 percent of the silver used comes from Nordic mines and the bronze is also partly recycled. All precious metal waste generated in jewelry manufacturing is collected, even down to the metal dust generated during the grinding phase, and cleaned for reuse.
