Maria Nilsdotter Jewelry

Swedish jewelry designer Maria Nilsdotter creates pieces inspired by a mysterious and dark fantasy world, often drawn from folk tales and mythology. The design is characterized by symbolic figures, unexpected twists and thought provoking contrasts... After graduating from renowned arts college Central Saint Martins in 2007 Maria started her brand right away, creating all her jewelry by herself. Since then her business has grown as demand for her pieces increased. In 2012 Maria was awarded the prestigious Guldknappen Accessoar for accessory designer of the year by Swedish magazine Damernas Värld, and today her jewelry is made by skilled craftsmen in Sweden and England, and is being sold by shops in several different countries, with her flagship store in Stockholm.

If you want to stand out in a crowd by wearing eye catching jewelry, Maria Nilsdotter's designs will certainly make people notice you! As usual, I have picked some of my personal favorites to show you, but to see it all, please visit Maria Nilsdotter's web site here!

Maria Nilsdotter

Swedish jewelry designer Maria Nilsdotter started her own brand after graduating from renowned arts collage Central Saint Martins, with a BA in Jewelry Design, in 2007. In the beginning she made all the pieces herself - often in very limited editions, sometimes only one of some designs. As the brand now has become too popular for her to have time to create everything herself, her jewelry lines are now being produced in both Sweden and England.

In June 2011 Maria opened her first shop/working studio in the Old Town in Stockholm, where she also offers her customers to come in and place special orders. The inspiration for the design she finds in a mysterious and dark fantasy world often drawn from folktales and mythology.
