The name “Kirja” comes from Karelian and means “book.” This image is deliberately chosen: like an ancient book, each bead carries a rune – a symbol regarded for centuries as a carrier of knowledge and symbolic power. The result is a piece of jewelry that not only impresses through its form but also speaks to a deeper level. Each rune can be read as a “page,” each bead tells its own story.

Material and design
The rectangular shungite beads are polished and feel pleasant on the skin. Their clear geometry gives the bracelet a modern yet archaic appearance. Small glass beads between the dark stones create subtle light accents and provide an elegant contrast. The two elastic bands ensure stability and flexibility – for a secure and comfortable fit in everyday life.
