- Sensitive skin? Hypoallergenic at material level – confirmed on each product page.
How CALM Is Designed
Every CALM design starts with a simple geometric shape. It is then refined until it feels considered without feeling complicated. From across the room, it reads as minimal. Up close, the finish gives it depth.
Brushed and Sanded: The CALM Finishes
A brushed finish has fine, directional lines that soften the shine. A sanded finish is evenly matt. Some CALM series use one finish, and some combine both on the same design.
The CALM Series and What Their Names Mean
Every CALM series has a Scandinavian name, and each name carries a meaning that shapes its design. Each series includes several types of jewellery, so it is easy to build a set or mix series. Most designs come in both silver and 18K ION plated gold.
LIV (life)
A gentle everyday energy, for the designs you reach for first each morning. The finish is brushed and sanded: 2in1 earrings, multi dot earrings, and duo tone and statement necklaces on an adjustable chain.
SAGA (story)
For the moments that shape your story, designed to be worn every day. The finish is brushed: hoops, post earrings, statement earrings and necklaces on an adjustable chain.
NORA (honour, light)
A clear, easy presence from morning to evening. The finish is brushed: huggies, statement hoops, bracelets, and short, long and 3in1 necklaces.
SELMA (divine protection, peace)
A gentle anchor, close to the skin. The finish is brushed and sanded: earrings, plus duo tone earrings, a bracelet and a necklace that combine gold and silver.
TYRA (Thor's warrior, gentle strength)
Quiet strength beneath a soft surface. The finish is sanded: post earrings, statement earrings, and short and statement necklaces.
VERA (truth, faith)
Honest, simple forms. The finish is sanded: spinning and revolve earrings, wrap it rings, a bracelet and a 2in1 short necklace.
How to Wear CALM Every Day
Layer two necklaces from different CALM series – the shared shapes make them work together. Or wear one design on its own and let the finish do the work. Clean enough for the office, considered enough for dinner.
Made to Keep
CALM is designed to be worn for years, not replaced next season. Choose fewer designs, wear them more and keep them longer.
