How it All started
Past to present
Birka Lexia was first initiated 2017, as a space to freely communicate through material and form. It started with small sculptures, that over time turned into wearable pieces.
With an appreciation for the unusual and an urge to explore, I design your jewelry in castable wax and work intuitively as I sculpt each design by hand.
Fragments from ancient artifacts, sculptural objects and surrealism are all interpreted and infused into the Birka Lexia jewelry.
Through my background in Fine Arts, a Professional Bachelor degree in Jewelry Technology and Business, and a foundation semester at NEXT School of Goldsmiths in Copenhagen, Birka Lexia slowly took shape into a universe of its own.
Making Your Jewelry
at the workbench
I create your jewelry with a lot of thought and attention. They’re made in small batches, made-to-order or custom made to fit your needs. You'll also find a range of one-of-a-kind pieces in the collection.
I primarily work with traditional goldsmithing techniques, and once in a while incorporate modern technologies.
Each piece origins from the jewelry workshop in Copenhagen.

The Packaging
Let's choose well
All Birka Lexia jewelry boxes are made out of FSC-certified cardboard and water-based glue.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is an international non-profit organisation committed to advocating responsible forestry. Forests all over the world have been and can be FSC-certified if they live up to the highest environmental and social FSC standards.
An FSC-certified product means that it comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits. For example, in an FSC forest, there won’t be more trees cut down than can be reproduced.
You’ll find the FSC label on the inside of your jewelry box, under the foam.
