Description

The Männyt jewelry collection combines the mystique of Finnish nature with modern, innovative design. Created by jewelry designer Ildar Wafin, the collection draws inspiration from the pines growing in the archipelago—their resilience and rugged beauty.

Männyt tells a story of Finnish nature, its strength and beauty, and the importance of traditional craftsmanship.

“Thought-provoking shapes and patterns take me into a fascinating world where the vitality and mystery of nature are embodied in pines and their forms.”

The Männyt hoop earrings, cast in gold-toned bronze, are highly sculptural and striking, yet pleasantly lightweight thanks to their hollow structure. The smooth, gently undulating surface is contrasted by a rough texture on one side of the earring. The rugged texture may be visible or hidden, depending on which ear you wear the earring on. The earrings are mirror images of each other. They are hinged, and their silver post locks into a hidden silicone stopper inside the earring.

The Männyt collection is designed by Finnish jewelry designer Ildar Wafin. This talented young designer has gained international recognition in fashion competitions and was awarded the Young Talent prize at the Finnish Fashion Awards in spring 2024. Wafin’s collection draws inspiration from the resilient pines of the archipelago and their raw, natural beauty
