Gad leinson from GL-Koru Oy says:

At GL-Koru we have a wide range of ready made products from engagement rings to cufflinks, from gold chains to titanium jewellery. We offer unique, extremely high quality products designed and manufactured in our own workshop.

We aim to design our jewellery so that all the pieces compliment each other, forming unique sets. This gives you an opportunity to increase your collection piece by piece and become the proud owner of a beautifully elegant ensemble.

We make jewellery using mainly gold and titanium, but also silver. Our products are made of the highest quality precious metals. We mix our own yellow gold by using fine gold, fine silver and copper. For yellow gold jewellery we normally use 14 carat gold, but we also use, on request, 18 carat or even 23 carat gold. Jewellery made with white gold is always made with 18 carat palladium white gold, which is the safest choice in preventing possible allergies.

Chao & Eero come with new collection, RingRing.

Designers created the RingRing collection with a hint of the urban art form of graffiti, which they have been photographing many years in Finland and abroad during their trips.

These are serious designs with fun and playful attitude, so they are pretty much in line with all the jewelry they have been creating through out the years.

Made with the sense of humor each piece is definitely a good conversation opener.

As always, all the pieces are handmade and finished in Lahti, in their brand new studio, where Chao & Eero moved in the beginning of this year.

No matter what you are interested in, designer jewelry is very popular. However jewelry is actually a victim of its own success because when this becomes so popular there is more temptation for people to copy and rip off the jewelry. The more popular the design becomes, the more knock offs are available. This can happen for pretty much any product, including jewelry. The knock offs are usually made quite cheaply and can be of an inferior quality.

Everybody loves the beautiful jewelry that we all see celebrities wearing, but few of us can actually afford to buy the same jewelry. This can be very disappointing for lots of people. Faux designer jewelry is a possible alternative to the real thing. Faux designer jewelry looks just like the real thing, so you are the only person that knows that it’s fake. If you buy faux jewelry carefully you will be able to get a piece of jewelry which looks fantastic.

Where can I find this Jewelry?

There are lots of high street stores that stock various ranges of faux designer jewelry. There are only a few that you will probably be interested in. One very good company is Overstock Jewelry, they offer very inexpensive faux jewelry. The jewelry here is of quite a high quality, and looks like the real thing!

Art deco was a very innovative period in design history, many different materials were used to create a unique look which reflected the new times that we were all in. Art Deco is from the 20′s and 30′s, these are the times when you would of seen jazz, the flapper and the start of the machine age.

Yva is an elegant pleasure objet d’art, handcrafted in stainless steel or 18K gold-plate, with a deep and resonant vibe. The metal, luxurious and evocative against the naked skin, offers exciting prospects for users inclined to the sensual utilization of hot or cold. A perfect accessory for that dressy but boring party, YVA is small, rechargeable and exceedingly quiet.

Kalevala Koru jewelry seeks its inspiration from the unique Finnish and Scandinavian jewelry traditions throughout the ages.

The classic collection consists of replicas of ancient Iron Age jewelry discovered by archaeologists. Some motifs originate in the beginning of the Christian Era, others in the prosperous Viking Age, the Middle Ages of the late centuries. Our talented designers tailor delicately these historical models to suit the present time. (more…)
