Precious metal
I use high-quality recycled silver from trusted suppliers. Recycled silver can be extracted from recycled computers, old jewelry, and precious metal objects.
Gemstones
I get my stones from the gemstone cutters in Europe. I use natural stones as well as synthetic ones.

Kilahus & the jeweler
Even though Kilahus isn’t a business yet, I’ve been doing jewelries for few years under this name.
Then, how the name Kilahus was born? The word “kilahus” means a small ting or cling – the sound, what for example a glass makes when you tap it with your nails. When making jewelry, the soundscape is wide – tinking, rattling, snapping, the sound when a piece of jewelry or gemstone drops on the floor, and the grunting of the jeweler, when they search the dropped piece. That is Kilahus.
When I was young, I remember to swear I would never do handcrafts for a job. Well, here I am! I come from family where everyone does handicraft, so it makes sense to me to follow this path as an jeweler.
I've studied and worked in audio-visual communication. This site is portfolio of my illustration and graphic design works.
Design
My jewelries has a experimental design style; sometimes jewelry can be quite simple for overall appearance but full of details, or vice versa.
I like to put small parts on my jewelry to bring it to life with a sound; chains, stones, or silver. When the small parts cling to one another, it makes a small ting, what I like to call “kilahus”.
I find the inspiration to my jewelry designs from Finnish epic poetry, Kalevala and Scandinavian Edda. That’s why most of my jewelries have a little background around them; I want to tell these old stories, tales and myths onward in the shape of jewelry.
