Ilmatar
You cannot have Finnish jewellery design without elements from Finnish folklore stories …
"The virgin of the air descends to the waters. Burdened by the wind and the water she makes herself into the mother of waters. A duck makes a nest on her knee and lays six eggs made of gold and one made of iron. The eggs fall and are shattered. The shards become the earth, the sky, the sun, the moon and the clouds. The mother of waters creates capes, gulfs and land, as well as shallows ja deep trenches in the sea."
(Taken from the Finnish national epic Kalevala)
