Geometric forms, open patterns, sharp and soft. This is a description that suits ALVÖR well.
It glides up fingers, swings in ears and needs space on the neck and hand. It is on the large side but at the same time possesses strength and lightness, not unlike armour from the past, which also had the role of protection.
The idea for ALVÖR is inspired by the origins of the Icelandic people. We are familiar with our roots, and nature plays a big role in our lives. Human habitation signs shed light on history, are testimonies of the past and show us how our immediate environment has developed.
Cultural heritage is the key to protecting our sense of self.

Established in 1999, we are Iceland's leading jewellery brand and take pride in creating truly unique designs inspired by Icelandic nature, which have gained worldwide acclaim from such authorities as Condé Nast Traveler, Timeout, Vogue, and Town & Country.
Our flagship boutique and integrated workshop is on the main street in Reykjavík and we have built an international network of more than 50 retail partners.
Our staff of master artisans in Reykjavík produce each and every item by hand, thus ensuring high quality and attention to detail. We offer a lifetime guarantee for every piece we make -- just send us back any items requiring servicing. Or better yet, come visit us in Iceland :)
We incorporate sustainability principles throughout our operations, such as sourcing only recycled and re-refined precious metals and only buying certified and conflict-free precious stones and diamonds.
Even our unique packaging is inspired by Icelandic nature, modelled on an actual Icelandic pebble from Djúpalónssandur beach in the Snæfellsnes peninsula. The paper box is made from sustainable mulberry tree fibres.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Always elegant and polished, unique, and wild - I feel it captures many of the things that make Iceland itself beautiful. I love the detail in each piece as well as the delicacy and minimalism. Free postage to the other side of the world is a huge plus! The packaging is wonderful too - a paper mache box that looks like a small rock. I would actually buy just the box!"
