The color palette contains a warm gold, in combination with black, brown and fading topaz crystal tones. The colors are translated through countless hand-set crystals. For this collection, Bjorn was inspired by beautiful jewelry from the past. Bjorn: “We all know the beautiful and the mysterious sceneries around the old
myths and the lost treasures of the past, captured in documentaries. It is our own interpretation that bringsnthe collection to life.”

Bjorn was inspired by Cleopatra and the burial chambers of the Egyptians, among other things. These hidden treasure troves are often discovered by archaeologists. The discovery of such a treasure is an exciting moment, you might say that it gives a feeling of a rush. The name of this exuberant collection GOLD RUSH is derived from this. With his expertise and vision on design, Bjorn knows how to turn the magic of these special myths into a modern translation. He has used iconic elements in new designs and together this forms an interesting mix and detailed end result.
