Vintage bronze necklace inspired by the Halikko spiral ornaments from the late Iron Age, found in Finland’s Lampola region. The design reinterprets ancient prototypes through modern minimalism - a solid twisted front section shaped from cast bronze, joined with a chain extension for adjustable length. The immovable front arc has a tactile, rope-like texture that gives the piece both structure and character.

Why buy vintage jewelry by Kalevala Koru?
