Handmade jewelry in Bergen
In a world full of mass production, there are still places where true craftsmanship is at the center. In the middle of Bergen lies Arven's workshop, where our collection of gold and silver jewelry is shaped by hand – with precision, love and respect for the materials and craftsmanship. Here, jewelry is created that lasts, and that carries more than just shine. They carry history.
A living goldsmith's workshop
At Arven, production takes place in the traditional way, side by side with modern techniques. In our workshop in the heart of Bergen, experienced goldsmiths and craftsmen work on every little detail. And with a glass wall between the workshop and the store, you get up close to the production when you visit us. They heat, shape and solder the metal, insert gemstones and polish to a perfect shine. No automated lines, no shortcuts – just real craftsmanship, carried out by people with pride in their craft.
A piece of jewelry with origin and identity
When you wear a piece of jewelry that is handmade, you wear more than design. You wear a piece of work, an eye for detail and an intention behind every shape and line. Our jewelry has value not only in the materials it is made of, but in the time and expertise that goes into making it. That makes it more than just decoration. That makes it personal.
Design with roots and a contemporary outlook
The heritage is built on a long tradition of Norwegian design and craftsmanship. Our collections draw inspiration from nature, architecture and older design languages, but are shaped with today's users and the times to come in mind. This results in jewelry that feels both classic and modern. Whether you choose a soft rose motif in silver or a tight, modern gold piece, you can know that it is made with the same precision - and the same love for the craft.
Norwegian production with sustainability in focus
Choosing a handmade piece of jewelry from Arven is also a sustainable choice. We use recycled gold and silver in the production, and everything happens locally in our own workshop in Bergen. This means that we have full control over quality, environmental impact and working conditions. When you buy a Handmade By Arven piece of jewelry, you support local production, tradition and responsible value creation.
