Design Insight & Provenance

Crafted in 1978, this pendant features Lapponia’s signature organic, sculptural metalworking style—a defining hallmark of Finnish modernist jewellery from the era. The 1 x 1 cm heart pendant utilizes a multi-faceted, crinkled surface texture that diffuses ambient light across its 14-karat yellow gold form rather than reflecting it as a mirror polish. At a lightweight 4.3 grams total, the piece is supported by a delicate 0.6 mm chain measuring 43 cm in length, positioning the heart near the collarbone for everyday wear. The inclusion of small circular link stations along the chain adds structural flexibility and subtle visual breaks, ensuring the necklace moves naturally without twisting against the skin.
