"My most natural instinct was to treat horsehair as a textile on a miniature scale. I'd seen jewellery where horsehair had been braided or plaited in different ways, but I wanted to create something more refined and more durable."

Nanna has always loved cats and dogs, but it was only as an adult that she discovered her love for horses. Sometimes a hobby can change your entire life and even give your professional life a new direction. That is exactly what happened to Nanna…

In Nanna’s studio every bundle of horsehair carries a story. Each piece of jewellery is woven from one customer’s own horsehair, handled with extraordinary care. Inspiration begins with the horse, its personality and the story behind. And when Nanna needs a moment of peace, she finds it in her small garden, where nature changes with every day and season.

What is luxury? For some, it is designer brands and champagne; for others a quiet morning, a warm bath, or a moment spent with a horse. All of these three share one thing in common: time. It is the one thing we cannot buy more of. That is why we want to offer you exactly that — time, quality craftsmanship, personal service, and jewellery woven with meaningful memories.

Nanna Salmi’s horsehair jewellery collection has been on the market for 25 years now. That’s a long time.

Since then I have woven thousands of ribbons. I feel fortunate to be able to offer my clients something unique, meaningful and beautiful.

What truly elevates Nanna Salmi's creations to the realm of pure elegance is the collaboration with a professional goldsmith.

Both horses and dogs bring unique joys and companionship to our lives.

Sometimes a dream helps you to make your decision and you find your dream horse... Have you ever seen your deceased horse in a dream?

Wonderful and highly appreciated recognition: the Michelangelo Foundation wanted to present Nanna Salmi on its Homo Faber Guide.

”When I first saw a horsehair bracelet made by Nanna I was completely astonished how exquisite combination of woven miniature horsehair fabric and modern jewellery design it was. I knew this is something we have to get to the collection of the Finnish Museum of Horology and Jewellery. ” Essi Pullinen, museum director
