The name Rypäle means grape in Finnish, and the form suits it well: a compact cluster of wooden beads gathered into a rounded, tactile shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"50\" data-end=\"280\"\u003eThe form is made by the founder of Aarikka Finland, Kaija Aarikka.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"282\" data-end=\"485\"\u003eThe brooch has the warmth and directness of early Aarikka design. It is decorative, but still natural and simple in the Finnish way, with the beauty carried by wood grain, rhythm and hand assembled form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"487\" data-end=\"497\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"487\" data-end=\"497\"\u003eDesign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"499\" data-end=\"727\"\u003eThe composition is built from dozens of wooden beads attached to a round wooden and metal base.

From the front it looks almost like a bunch of berries or a small wooden fruit cluster, with visible grain and soft variations in colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003eMaker and Period\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eMaker: Aarikka, Finland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1018\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eDesigner: Kaija Aarikka\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1057\"\u003eSeries: Rypäle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1059\" data-end=\"1072\"\u003ePeriod: 1960s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1074\" data-end=\"1119\"\u003eMaterial: wood, metal base and metal fittings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1159\"\u003eTechnique: handmade and hand assembled\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1161\" data-end=\"1177\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1193\"\u003eDiameter: 5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1208\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1195\" data-end=\"1208\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1238\"\u003eExcellent vintage condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1240\" data-end=\"1371\"\u003eThe wooden beads show beautiful natural grain and age related tonal variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1373\" data-end=\"1403\"\u003eFor Wearing and Collecting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1405\" data-end=\"1714\"\u003eA strong small piece of Finnish modern jewelry.
