The Männyt jewelry series is designed by Finnish jewelry designer Ildar Wafin. The talented young designer has achieved success in international fashion competitions and was awarded the Young Talent prize at the Finnish Fashion Awards in 2024. Wafin's collection draws inspiration from the pine trees growing in the archipelago, their resilience, and rugged beauty. Autumn 2025 sees the addition of a new bracelet and ring to the series.
The new Männyt bracelet consists of interlinked sculptural elements of the same shape and size as the small earrings in the series. Available in two lengths: 18 cm (11 parts) and 21 cm (13 parts). The bracelet can be made shorter by hooking the clasp on any of the elements. Putting together two bracelets makes a luxurious necklace. The Männyt bracelet is available in silver and bronze.
JEWELRY STORY
Männyt
Männyt (finnish for pines) collection combines
the mystique of Finnish nature with modern, innovative
design. Created by jewelry designer Ildar Wafin, the
collection draws its inspiration from the pine trees of
the archipelago, their hardiness, and rugged beauty.
Männyt is a story about Finnish nature, its strength and
beauty, and the importance of traditional craftsmanship.
”The thought-provoking shapes and patterns take me
into a fascinating world where the vitality and mystery
of nature are crystallized in the pine trees and their
shapes.”
Kalevala silver jewelry is handcrafted in Finland from sterling silver. More than 99% of the silver we use is recycled.
Over time, all silver jewelry darkens. Darkening can be prevented by regular cleaning and proper storage of the jewelry. Dark spots can be removed with a Kalevala cleaning cloth. After cleaning, it is a good idea to wash the jewelry in mild soapy water so that the cleaning agent does not stain the clothes. The cleaning cloth is not suitable for cleaning stones set in silver jewelry.
It is good to keep the jewelry in its original packaging. Additional protection for jewelry without
against the darkening effect of impurities is provided by a tight plastic bag.
