The model for the GRACE necklace was the christening jewellery that Guldviva was commissioned to create as a gift for the ship’s (M/S Viking Grace) godmother.

Maria Karlström, head goldsmith and designer at Guldviva, has designed and crafted the christening jewelry for M/S Viking Grace. Here are her thoughts on the piece and the creative process:

“The Åland archipelago landscape is an important source of inspiration when I create and design for Guldviva. When you see the finished jewellery, the connection to Åland nature is often obvious, but the road there is not always straight. And so it is with the christening jewellery as well.

My starting point was to include everything that makes up a modern cruise ship; the feeling of an entire world. The eleven decks of M/S Viking Grace were therefore given space as separate components in the piece of jewellery. They represent the different rhythms on board – including the stillness.

The natural continuation of my thoughts was the sea. As islanders we live with the sea. Ships that arrive, turn and leave again are a natural part of life. Almost floating, timeless and safe. I have reflected this in the piece by contrasting the shape of the waves with the storeys. They are then arranged together in a more strict, square form to give the piece a clean, minimalist design.

The shape of the waves and the tiers are also arranged to leave room for interpretation. Those who look closely can therefore see other shapes hidden in the piece...
