Kielo silver necklace by Tony Granholm, Kalevala Koru, Finland

Silver Kielo necklace by Kalevala Koru, designed by Finnish goldsmith Tony Granholm. The design is based on lily of the valley, Finland’s national flower, with slim leaf forms and a small hanging flower charm shaped like a tiny bell.

The necklace has a light, graceful line. The leaves form a soft open curve at the front, while the little flower pendant moves gently below. It gives the piece a quiet sense of movement and makes the design feel natural without becoming too decorative.

Design and Inspiration

Kielo means lily of the valley in Finnish. The flower has a strong place in Finnish nature and culture, known for its modest white bells and spring scent. Tony Granholm translated this familiar plant into a clean silver form: long leaves, a small flower and a balanced central composition.

The result is elegant and easy to wear, with enough detail to feel special. It works well with simple clothing, linen, wool, black, white, soft grey and natural tones.
