Exceptional Finnish modernist sterling silver bracelet designed by Paula Häiväoja for Kalevala Koru, precisely date-marked S7 for 1971.
The bracelet is composed of a rhythmic series of open circular links joined by smaller rings and slender rectangular connectors, creating an airy geometric composition that feels remarkably contemporary more than fifty years after it was made.
One of the most appealing details is the subtle contrast in surface treatment. The larger geometric elements alternate between softly brushed silver and brighter polished surfaces, allowing light to move differently across each link and emphasizing Häiväoja’s fascination with form, reflection and negative space.
Rather than relying on ornamentation, the design is built entirely from circle, line, proportion and movement — hallmarks of postwar Finnish modernism and of Häiväoja’s highly distinctive design language.
The bracelet measures a generous 8" long and remains visually light and extremely wearable despite its strong architectural presence.
Fully hallmarked with the Kalevala Koru maker’s mark, Finnish crown, 925H silver fineness mark, longboat assay symbol and S7 date code, establishing its Finnish origin and 1971 production.
About Paula Häiväoja
Paula Häiväoja (1929–2011) was one of Finland’s leading modernist jewelry designers and the first female chief designer of Kalevala Koru. She joined the company as a designer in 1956 and served as chief designer from 1963 to 1967, after which she worked independently and opened her own studio. Kalevala itself describes her silver jewelry as “ultramodern” and notes that her designs remain strikingly futuristic even more than half a century later.
Her work is particularly admired for its bold exploration of geometry, reflective silver surfaces, dimensional form and visual movement, placing her firmly within the important generation of postwar Finnish modernist designers.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. The bracelet will be professionally cleaned prior to shipment. The hallmarks are exceptionally small and difficult to photograph clearly; please review all photographs closely.
A rare and beautifully documented example of 1970s Finnish modernist jewelry, especially appealing to collectors of Paula Häiväoja, Kalevala Koru, Scandinavian and Nordic design, and mid-century studio jewelry.
