Modernist silver ring designed by Börje Rajalin for Kalevala Koru, Finland. Made of 916 silver, this piece reflects the minimalist geometry typical of Rajalin’s design language: precise and balanced. The band is decorated with a repeating linear ornament that softens the strict form with rhythm and depth.
Rajalin, Kalevala Koru’s chief designer from 1956, was a key figure in shaping Finland’s modern jewelry aesthetics. His use of simple structures and sculptural detail helped redefine silver jewelry as modern art rather than mere adornment.
