MOOD No.3
MELT
The Melt collection is a story of transformation and facing the unknown. It draws inspiration from a dive into the depths, where a woman discovers a fiery ember and sees the world in a new light. This new perspective reveals the past and transforms the present into determination. Beneath the surface, she finds her jewelry box, whose contents have twisted, turned, and grown, revealing a new, enchanting future.
The Melt collection dazzles with undulating surfaces of gold, silver, and gemstones. The collection features the finest materials: AAA -grade pearls from Tahiti, crystal opals from Australia, and cordierite from America. Each piece has undergone transformation and renewal, embodying the Anna Loistaa attitude.
MOOD No.2
TUONELA
Detailed and fantasy -filled collection of jewelry was born from a curiosity about the wonders of nature. The collection draws inspiration from the hidden beauty of the North and the solitude of peace, as well as the endless day of the summer solstice. The night sun illuminates the world of seekers, where wonders rise from ashes and new life is born.
The collection includes 24 magical jewelry – Nether Masks, Nether Shadows, Base rings, Link earrings, and Irons bracelets. Together, the jewelry sets forms either the Amulet of Tuonela or the Envoy of Tuonela.
Amulets of Tuonela shine energy into the world. Envoys of Tuonela are vessels of energy.
The Tuonela collection was created as part of the Bloom exhibition held at Munich Jewelry Week in 2022 and the Kierto exhibition held in Helsinki in 2021. The week in Munich in July was hot, hopeful, and long. The city was full of life, events, and opportunities.
The idea for an insect -themed exhibition emerged in 2019, and Leivo's work as an artist, as well as the exhibitions, were made possible by the Arts Promotion Centre Finland. Leivo sought inspiration for his work from the Cité Internationale des Arts artist residency in Paris in 2019.
The idea for insect jewelry was conceived in 2017 when Leivo was an exchange student in Jerusalem studying jewelry design. The unfamiliar city evoked a sense of alienation, leading Leivo to imagine himself as an insect amidst the bustling crowds of the large city. The Middle East was foreign to Leivo, and the cultural shock was immense. Everything was different and eye-opening: the people, clothing, gestures, language, buildings, and nature. The atmosphere was tense, and life seemed faster compared to the tranquility of Finland.

UNDERGROUND
The insect theme of the Maanala collection was derived from a sense of powerlessness, which was harnessed as inspiration for bold and daring brooches.
