About

Solvei is a small-batch jewellery studio focused on thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and longevity. Each piece is crafted slowly and with intention, designed to become a lasting part of a considered wardrobe.

Founded by Hannah, Solvei is informed by formal training in product and industrial design in Canada and Sweden, alongside fine jewellery practice. This design-led approach shapes a focus on form, proportion, and material, resulting in refined pieces defined by quiet detail and enduring construction.

The name Solvei comes from Hannah’s great-grandmother of Norwegian descent, reflecting a connection to heritage, craftsmanship, and timeless design. Influenced by natural forms and well-made objects, Solvei creates jewellery for those who value quality, intention, and longevity.

Philosophy

Solvei is grounded in a belief that good design is simple, considered, and built to last. Each piece begins with form, proportion, balance, and how it will be worn, rather than embellishment or trend.

Designs are refined through sketching and making, removing what isn’t necessary until only the essential remains. This approach values clarity and restraint, resulting in jewellery that feels quiet, wearable, and enduring rather than decorative.

Longevity is central to every design decision. Materials are chosen for their strength and ability to age well, and forms are developed to be worn daily, maintained over time, and kept rather than replaced. Pieces are designed to sit comfortably within a wardrobe, becoming familiar through wear rather than dated through fashion.

Craft & Process

Every Solvei piece is made in small batches, allowing close attention at each stage of making, from initial sketch to final polish. Working at this scale prioritizes quality over volume and supports a more deliberate, sustainable approach to production.

This slower process also creates space for experimentation and refinement, ensuring that each design maintains its integrity rather than being rushed to meet trends or seasonal releases.

Vision

Solvei is built with longevity in mind, both in the pieces themselves and in the brand as it grows. The vision is to continue developing a considered body of work: refined jewellery designed to sit quietly within a wardrobe, worn daily and returned to over time.

Moving forward, Solvei will remain intentional, focusing on limited collections, custom work, and meaningful objects rather than mass production. The studio aims to create jewellery that feels personal yet enduring, pieces that can be worn now and kept for years to come.
