Scandinavian fashion has been part of the sartorial zeitgeist for years, and it remains a constant source of inspiration, thanks to the effortlessly cool silhouettes and the way they’re styled. It’s not just ready-to-wear pieces that have captured attention across the world, either: Scandinavian jewelry also offers a playful, elevated aesthetic, from organic and architectural lines to simple metals enhanced with semi-precious stones or even rare wood. (In fact, many pieces are meant to be an extension of the body and a reflection of what you’d find in nature.) If casual, everyday luxury is what you’re after, then these Scandi jewelry brands deserve a spot in your wardrobe rotation.
At Copenhagen Fashion Week, a.k.a. the mecca of Scandinavian style, ELLE got to see some of the region’s best jewelry labels, from brands like Lié Studios to Kinraden and more. No matter your style, you can’t go wrong with these 12 Scandi jewelry brands. See and shop them all below.
Annele
Finnish brand Annele’s jewelry is flirty and just plain fun. Made with moving, colorful glass beads inspired by the icy blooms of Nordic winters, the earrings, rings, and necklaces are a welcome burst of flair.
Pandora
You might not have known that Pandora is a Copenhagen-based company, but once you find out, it makes total sense. With a slightly bohemian aesthetic (charms and more charms, anyone?), the pieces err on the playful side and, as importantly, are sustainable—a Scandinavian signature.
Sophie Bille Brahe
Based out of Copenhagen, Sophie Bille Brahe specializes in designs that are luxurious and one-of-a-kind. Even the daintiest or simplest styles look unique—graded scales turn diamonds into updated wavy rings and pearls into clustered marvels, all of which are stunning in person. (Trust me.)
Pearl Octopussy Crystal Necklace
For added edge, Pearl Octopussy creates pieces that are maximalist and statement-making but still undeniably chic. Your favorite stylists have likely chosen this bold Nordic brand for editorials, music videos, and special projects for that very reason.
Kinraden
Inspired by Japanese and Danish design sensibilities, Copenhagen-based brand Kinraden boasts a modern aesthetic and an unwavering commitment to mindfulness. By using recycled and responsible materials, it creates gorgeous, sculptural pieces that are minimalist and special.
By combining her Middle Eastern heritage with her upbringing in Denmark, Orit Elhanati creates stories rather than designs. Organic, perfectly imperfect shapes reinvigorate the brand’s evergreen collection, which includes rings, earrings, bracelets, anklets, and assorted objects. Plus, collabs with artists and designers like Conie Vallese and Khaite are where the brand really shines.
Lié Studio
Another Copenhagen-based brand, Lié Studio is bringing beads back. Made with materials like green agate, red carnelian, and beige topaz, the styles are bold and sleek at the same time.
Tom Wood, based out of Oslo, is for the modernists. Architectural and ultra-sleek, the contemporary, unisex brand is known for signet rings, chunky chains, and bold materials.
Louise Billgren Louise Billgren
Organic and surreal shapes are signatures of Louise Billgren. Limited, unisex collections are heavily inspired by intriguing textures like driftwood and the shape of lips—two unrelated objects connected through their innate touchableness.
Anni Lu radiates free-spirited vibes. Think: mix-and-matchable beaded necklaces, earrings, bracelets, belly chains, and anklets that add a youthful touch to any jewelry stack. These creations are perfect for vacation, parties, or any occasion that demands a pop of color.
Josephine Studio
Gorgeous designs, mixed metals, and organic stone placements are what set Josephine Studios apart in the jewelry world. Inspired by nature and the sea, the rings, earrings, and brooches are sturdy enough for everyday wear.
Ole Lynggaard
For those with a penchant for quirky pieces, Ole Lynggaard allows whimsical, playful, and often nature-inspired themes to guide its designs—like fish rings and snake chokers made with 18K gold, pearls, and precious gemstones.
