The Unikko Ear Cuff is an earring that is fastened by sliding it onto the cartilage part of the earlobe. Wearing it does not require a piercing. The width of the opening is 5 mm. The collaboration collection by Finnish design houses Marimekko and Kalevala Jewelry expands, with new jewelry pieces inspired by Maija Isola’s iconic Unikko pattern. Every piece is handcrafted with care at Kalevala Jewelry’s factory in Helsinki, Finland.
Ear cuff earrings are made in only one size. The ear cuff rests at different points on different people, following the shape of the ear. Slide the ear cuff on from the narrowest part of the ear and let it settle into its place. Made of partly recycled bright bronze with a golden glow. Also available in silver.
JEWELRY STORY
Kalevala x Marimekko collaboration collection in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Unikko pattern
Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko's design identity. Finnish lifestyle design house Marimekko and Finnish jewelry company Kalevala Koru make quality design a part of everyday life through their products. The latest example of this being the limited-edition collaboration collection between the two brands where Marimekko’s art of printmaking has been applied to timeless Kalevala jewelry. During the 60th anniversary year of Marimekko’s Unikko pattern, the brand has explored different approaches to this timeless design icon. In Kalevala’s Helsinki factory, the Unikko pattern comes to life in a brand-new way through Finnish craftmanship in jewelry.
Bronze is an alloy of copper, tin and zinc which
tarnishes faster than precious metals. The new bronze jewelry has a jewelry protector
varnish surface that prevents the jewelry from darkening. With the Kalevala cleaning cloth, you can
polishes areas that have dimmed if the protective varnish has worn off.
After cleaning, it's a good idea to wash the jewelry in mild soapy water, so as not to damage the cloth
the cleaning agent inside stains clothes.
