✨ Thank you, Mom. ✨
For the most meaningful gift I could ever have wished for – the chance to design this necklace myself, now resting close to my heart. It’s not just a piece of jewelry; it’s a memory, a bond, and a story forged in gold and sea-blue light.
The shape carries its own quiet symbolism – a triangle that binds the three of us together: you, me, and Lars. The deep blue stone mirrors the sea we grew up by, that vast horizon that taught us freedom, curiosity, and how to look beyond what’s right in front of us.
The gold setting, warm and solid, represents the life you built for us — the golden edges you always fought to give, no matter how hard things got. Safety, warmth, and laughter were never luxuries; they were constants, because you made them so.
You’ve been a kickass mum — the kind who doesn’t just raise children, but shapes whole worlds around them. You’ve been our compass, our guiding star. You make me laugh, you make me think, and sometimes you make me stop in my tracks just to reflect on life. Every conversation with you brings peace to my mind and sparks to my soul.
I still remember those sailing trips when we were kids — how, as we passed under the Skuru Bridge, you’d tell us the “ship’s rat” had left sweets for us to celebrate the start of summer. It was magic, pure and simple, the kind of magic only a mother can create.
You are a warrior in every sense of the word — strong, radiant, and endlessly kind. I admire you more deeply than words can capture. This necklace may glitter beautifully, but its true brilliance comes from what it represents: you.
Thank you for giving me this gift, and for making it possible for me to shape it with my own hands and heart. It’s more than jewelry — it’s the story of us.
And to @bjornvoncorswant, thank you for turning that story into gold and light. Your craftsmanship carries feeling in every curve. ❤️
Craftsmanship and Friendship in Visby
In the heart of medieval Visby, tucked among cobblestone streets and ancient walls, lies Dick’s Guld & Silver – a family-owned goldsmith’s workshop that feels more like a creative sanctuary than a store. It’s run by Björn von Corswant, his wife Hannah, and his father Dick Magnusson, whose name still graces the sign above the door.
Once just a shop owner to me, Björn has become a true friend. He has this rare gift of listening – not just to what you say, but to what you mean. When I describe an idea, he somehow captures not only the design but the feeling behind it. He finds solutions I didn’t even know were possible, and every piece he creates carries that quiet balance between artistry and precision.
Björn’s craftsmanship is nothing short of superb. He works with the patience of a true artisan, treating every piece as though it were destined to become an heirloom. There’s something profoundly grounding about watching someone so completely dedicated to their craft – and so genuinely kind in spirit.
I’m deeply grateful for his friendship, and I remain a devoted admirer of his work.
If you ever find yourself on Gotland, do yourself a favour and visit Dick’s Guld & Silver. Step inside, and you’ll understand.
