Let’s talk about what’s going on in the Baltic Ocean. My closest sea has been in trouble for many years. Unlike most oceans, the Baltic’s mix of salt and freshwater creates a rare, fragile ecosystem, one that’s now struggling with “dead zones,” algae blooms, and a dangerously slow recovery cycle.

I teamed up with the brilliant minds at Race For The Baltic to design a limited collection of bladderwrack-cufflinks and earrings. Think: sculptural, organic, unexpectedly elegant. It’s a tribute to the Baltic Sea  -an ocean that’s not far-flung or exotic, but big part of our lives, living here in the nordic east Europe.

Why bladderwrack (blåstång)? Because the specie is a keystone that holds the ecosystem together. The bladderwrack brings life and oxygen to the Baltic coast. So we turned it into a jewelry, made from recycled silver, to serve as a statement and a reminder of the baltic seas’s fragile system.

Big love and thanks to Race For The Baltic for the important, hands-on work they’re doing to safeguard this ocean. Sometimes the most meaningful action starts right where you are. We’re proud to be part of the movement.

Race For The Baltic is an independent non-profit accelerating solutions to restore the Baltic Sea by tackling its greatest challenge – eutrophication – and securing a healthy sea for future generations by 2030.
