Ethereal Jewelry Inspired by Finnish Fireweed

Enchanting Finland is a stunning line of handmade jewelry made by Chao-Hsien Kuo. Delicate and ethereal, the collection is inspired by a tall, purple-pink flowing wildflower that grows by the side of the roads in Finland.

The jewelry is a perfect combination of hand-crafted work with traditional techniques. Chao uses anticlastic forming, a way of hammering silver by hand that takes years to master. To further play with the reflection of light on the jewelry, she attached 24K gold foil on top of the silver jewelry. Each piece is unique and can’t be replicated.
