Expanding my jewelry collection (and a special Mother’s Day discount code)

Apr 12, 2019 | 1 comment

It’s only been 3 months since I launched my sustainable jewelry collection Scandinavia Bound made possible with the help from Stilnest, and it’s been going so well. I’m so proud of the collection, and I wear the jewelry every single day. Sometimes when I tell my surroundings about the collection, they seem so surprised that sustainability and jewelry can even be mentioned in the same sentence like that; “sustainable jewelry? But how?” You can read all about the way in which my jewelry collection is sustainable right HERE.

Right now we’re working on adding some extension pieces to the existing collection. Again, that’s the cool thing about not mass producing and that everything is made to order; we get to play around with the different designs in another way – maybe even improve or add something new to some of the existing ones. I can’t reveal too much about the designs yet, but we’re going to make a bracelet, a cute set of hoops and a new multi-purpose pendant. I’m loving the result already, and I can’t wait to share it with you all! Let me tell you this though, I feel like the new pieces are going to make my jewelry collection feel more complete because these are the types of jewelry, that I like to wear every single day and feel naked without. I’m like a child at Christmas just by the thought of being able to wear them all soon, haha!

I’m of course going to share the new designs with you as soon as they are released, which will hopefully happen within the next few months.

Det er kun 3 måneder siden jeg i samarbejde med Stilnest lancerede min bæredygtige smykkekollektion Scandinavia Bound, og det er gået over alt forventning. Jeg er så stolt over kollektionen, og jeg går med smykkerne hver eneste dag. Jeg møder somme tider folk i det virkelige liv som bliver overrasket over det faktum, at smykker og bæredygtighed overhovedet kan nævnes i en sammenhæng; “bæredygtige smykker? Jamen hvordan det?” Du kan læse mere om hvordan min smykkekollektion er bæredygtig lige HER.

Lige nu arbejder vi på, at tilføje et par ekstra designs til min nuværende smykkekollektion. Igen, det er jo det seje ved at intet bliver masseproduceret på forhånd; vi kan lege lidt mere med de forskellige designs vi vil tilbyde – måske endda forbedre eller tilføje en ny detalje på de eksisterende. Jeg kan ikke fortælle så meget om de enkelte designs endnu, men vi kommer til at lave et armbånd, et nyt vedhæng som kan bruges på flere måder og de fineste hoops. Jeg er så vild med resultatet allerede, og jeg kan ikke vente med, at dele dem med jer! Lad mig sige det sådan, at de gør min smykkekollektion mere komplet, fordi det er denne type smykker jeg tager på hver eneste dag, og som jeg føler mig helt nøgen uden. Glæder mig som et lille barn til, at kunne gå med de nye smykker hver dag!

Jeg kommer selvfølgelig til, at dele meget mere om de nye designs så snart de bliver tilgængelige, hvilket gerne skulle være inden for de næste par måneder.

Give something special to someone you love

We’ve decided to do a little campaign over the weekend, where we’re offering you a 15% discount on your next order with the code SIGNEXMOTHERSDAY  (all caps) when you order jewelry from my Scandinavia Bound collection. Not only to celebrate Mother’s Day coming up but also as a huge thank you for all your support since the launch of the collection. The code is valid from today the 12th to the 15th of April 2019, and it’s only valid for my designs. Since it as mentioned will be Mother’s Day really soon, maybe you’d like to spoil your dear mother, girlfriend, the mother of your children or maybe just yourself with some of my designs.

The thought behind the collection has been all along, that they should last a lifetime and that someone dear to you should be able to inherit them one day. I’ve mentioned before that I have a gold ring that’s an heirloom from my husband’s grandmother, and although I never got the chance to meet her, this ring means a lot to me. It’s a piece of my husband’s past and a piece of another woman’s life and time here on earth. Well, call it sentimental but isn’t that what makes heirlooms so great, no matter what form they come in?

Jeg har sammen med Stilnest valgt, at køre en lille kampagne her henover weekenden, hvor du kan få 15% rabat på hele din ordre med koden SIGNEXMOTHERSDAY (store bogstaver) når du bestiller smykker fra Scandinavia Bound. Ikke kun for at fejre Mor’s Dag næste måned, men også som en kæmpe tak til jer for jeres fantastiske opbakning af kollektionen. Koden er gyldig fra d. 12-15 april og gælder kun min kollektion. Mor’s Dag er jo som sagt på trapperne næste måned (12. Maj i Danmark folkens – selv tak for reminder’en), og måske har du lyst til at forkæle din mor, kæreste, moren til dine børn eller måske bare dig selv, med nogle af de fine smykker.

Tanken bag kollektionen har hele tiden været, at smykkerne skal kunne gå i arv. Hvis du vil forkæle dig selv kan smykkerne måske en dag gå i arv til dine egne børn eller børnebørn. Jeg har nævnt før at jeg selv har en guldring, som jeg har arvet af min mands bedstemor. Selvom jeg aldrig fik chancen for at møde hende, så betyder den ring så meget for mig. Den et et stykke af min mands fortid og ikke mindst et lille stykke af en anden kvindes liv, tid og anstrengelser. Ja, det lyder måske sentimentalt, men er det ikke lidt sådan med arvestykker, ligegyldigt hvilken afskygning de kommer i?

Buy the 14 ct solid gold Gemini Zodiac pendant HERE (adlink)

Recently I also got my hands on the stunning Gemini Zodiac pendant from Stilnest’s own collection (bought for a good price since I do work with the brand too). It’s the pendant in the short chain on these images. The chain is one I already had by the way. I love combining necklaces in different lengths like this as you might know, and I think it compliments my own designs perfectly.

I’m somewhat of a sucker for astrology (yes, I’m one of those people), and sometimes I read my horoscope on a daily basis. Just because I think it’s kind of cozy, and some days I find it quite empowering or inspiring. Whether you believe that stuff or not, it does something to you… Usually I tend to think that it is shockingly precise to what’s going on in my life, especially this (Danish) description of my star sign Gemini: “Geminis are charming, curious and open-minded. They are excellent at getting their messages through, either through communication, sales or trades. They are actually said to be able to “sell sand in Sahara”. They love exploring new places, learning new things and having deep conversations with others. They are also capable at having 2 different types of jobs at a time and feel quite good about it.” Do you Geminis recognise yourselves in this too?

Anyway, I hope the discount code will be appreciated by you or someone dear to you somehow. Have an amazing weekend lovelies!

For nyligt fik jeg også fingrene i den fine tvilling Zodiac pendant fra Stilnest’s egen kollektion (købt af egen lomme men til en fordelagtig pris, efter som jeg jo arbejder sammen med dem). Det er det vedhæng I ser i den korte kæde på billederne. Kæden er iøvrigt én jeg havde i forvejen. Jeg elsker at kombinere flere forskellige halskæder i forskellige længder som I måske ved, og jeg synes den komplimenterer mine egne designs super fint.

Jeg er lidt af en sucker for astrologi (jep, jeg er one of those people), og læser i perioder mit horoskop dagligt. Bare fordi jeg synes det er hyggeligt, og nogle dage kan jeg ligefrem hente lidt styrke eller inspiration i dét, som det på den enkelte dag forudsiger. Uanset om man så tror på det eller ej, men altså… For det meste synes jeg det er nærmest skræmmende præcist, især denne beskrivelse af mit stjernetegn – tvilling – synes jeg rammer rimelig godt (hvis man selv må sige det): “Du er indbegrebet af charme, nysgerrighed, og imødekommenhed. Du er god til at få dine budskaber igennem, hvad enten det er igennem kommunikation, salg eller handel. At rejse er at leve er dit motto, foruden at læse, studere, og samtale med andre mennesker. Du er faktisk typen, som kan sælge sand til Sahara, som man siger. Du er også en person, som udmærket kan have to jobs.” Er du selv tvilling og kan du genkende dig selv i noget af dette?

Anyway, jeg håber rabatkoden kan bringe lidt lykke jeres vej på den ene eller den anden måde. Rigtig god weekend skønne mennesker!

    Hello Signe. I enjoy following you here and on Instagram and You Tube.

    You have something to say and you say it in a positive way.

    I have the ring from your collection in gold and I wear it all the time. I am anxious to see the bracelet and I am hoping it will come in a longer length.

    Best Wishes.
