Vintage bronze necklace Talon sydän (Finnnish for Heart of a House) by designer Tony Granholm for Kalevala Koru echoes a timeless tradition: jewelry given and worn for the same reasons through the ages as symbols of affection, memory and belonging.
The rhythm of repeating hearts, crafted in warm-toned bronze, draws from the ornamental richness of ancient Finnish jewelry, while the form remains stylish modern in its clarity and symbolism. It rests close to the heart, where it belongs, both emotionally and literally.
Length is 42-45 cm, adjustable. Excellent vintage condition. Marked by Kalevala Koru: KK.
