The By the Sea jewelry collection is crafted from high-quality Finnish birch plywood – a material known for its lightness, durability, and natural beauty. Each piece is designed by Elina Mäntylä, a Nordic designer and passionate sailor with over 20 years of experience in coastal and wilderness sailing. Her deep connection to the sea – its rhythm, light, and vastness – flows into the heart of this collection.

The first design, Sail, took shape over years of sketches, reflections, and re-imaginings. The result is a collection that is calm rather than flashy, quietly powerful instead of loud. You may see the curve of a sail, the horizon line, or the gentle motion of water. Each piece invites you to breathe, pause, and feel.

All pieces in the collection are handcrafted in small batches in Helsinki. Colored versions are dyed by hand in our studio, ensuring every earring or pendant is unique. We use sustainably sourced birch, nickel-free silver (925) hooks, and include soft silicone backs for comfort and security.

Every detail is thoughtfully designed with respect for nature and material efficiency. This is minimalist Nordic jewelry for those who seek depth, simplicity, and a sense of space.

The By the Sea collection is perfect for ocean lovers, sailors, island dwellers, and anyone who feels at home by the water. It also makes a meaningful summer gift – light, airy, and easy to wear whether you’re by the sea or simply dreaming of it.
