Our craft honours the materials earth provides—and serves the communities that need our care.

This is sustainability with purpose.

Our Story

Two Enduring Commitments

We channel each AWNL purchase into two lasting efforts that strengthen communities and care for our world.

Ocean plastic recycling program - Community enterprise

Ocean to Enterprise

Converting ocean-bound plastic into sustainable income streams for coastal families creates two solutions: cleaner waters and economic empowerment for communities that need both.

Each collection program supports multiple coastal families whilst removing plastic from marine ecosystems.

Coastal Communities Worldwide

Clean water access project - Community well in Sub-Saharan Africa

Water for Tomorrow

Building sustainable water infrastructure across Sub-Saharan Africa transforms daily life. When communities access clean water, children attend school instead of walking hours to fetch water.

From wells to rainwater systems, reliable infrastructure means healthier communities and brighter futures.

Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Kenya

Materials That Matter

We believe exceptional materials deserve exceptional stewardship. Each stone in our collection carries stories spanning millions of years—our role is to honour their journey.

"Traditional rarity is a market construct. True value lies in each material's inherent character and the responsible way we transform it."

Swedish quarry - Geological origins of our materials

Geological Time

Ancient Formation

Materials forged over geological epochs—from Swedish granite crystallised 1.7 billion years ago to Muonionalusta meteorite carrying 4.5 billion years of cosmic history. Each piece embodies time beyond human comprehension.

Stockholm workshop - Traditional Nordic craftsmanship tools

Nordic Heritage

Traditional Methods

Our Stockholm workshop maintains techniques refined across generations of Swedish metalworkers. Traditional methods naturally consume less energy whilst creating pieces built for decades of wear.

Craftsman working with natural materials - Modern stewardship

Human Responsibility

Modern Stewardship

Each piece requires individual attention from Swedish craftsmen. We consider ourselves custodians rather than owners—transforming ancient materials with the reverence they deserve.

From cosmic formation to human craft—every material tells a story worthy of careful stewardship.

Stockholm heritage and traditional craftsmanship district

Swedish Methods,
Global Responsibility

Crafted in our Stockholm workshop using traditional Nordic metalworking techniques refined across generations. Our methods prioritise longevity over speed, quality over quantity.

  • All silver begins as recycled material, refined to traditional standards
  • Swedish craftsmen ensure individual attention for each piece
  • Local production minimises transport whilst supporting Nordic craft traditions

"We create with the next generation in mind—every technique employed considers long-term impact over short-term gain."

Partnerships Built on Principle

We source responsibly from established partners who understand the significance of what they handle. Our suppliers are chosen not merely for quality, but for their commitment to fair labour practices and environmental stewardship.

No Conflict Materials

Every material traced to responsible sources. No conflict zones, no exploitation.

Fair Partnership

Family-owned quarries and small businesses in South Africa and Brazil. Partnerships built to last.

Open Practice

Complete supply chain documentation. No hidden stories.

Transparency is not a marketing strategy. It is fundamental to who we are.

Legacy Thinking

We create with the next generation in mind. Every material chosen, every technique employed, every partnership formed considers long-term impact over short-term gain.

"This is more than sustainable business practice. This is Nordic responsibility—caring for resources so they endure."
