Danish jewelry designer Lina Christensen in SLOWFASHIONhouse

Jewelry designer Lina Christensen's Windows earrings are unavoidable classic accessories.
The Windows series' vibrant and cheerful enamel earrings are based on the overwhelming experience of seeing the light shine through the glass mosaic in a church.

The unusual watercolor transparency of the enamel layer brings in the light and makes it an indispensable part of the jewelry.

The Danish design brand, founded on 20 years of successful experience, is located on level 2 in SLOWFASHIONhouse.com, the virtual design department store.

Lina Christensen's forte as a designer is to make what you could call urban classics in cohesive collections. Jewelry that at the same time seems so obvious that you think it has always been there.

The goldsmith and jewelry designer Lina Christensen is very concerned with balance and responsibility. Balance in her choice of materials and their mutual interplay, as well as between the introvert and the extrovert in the actual work process. Responsibility in the way she thinks the environment should be treated. It all connects in her mind.

The earth should be treated with decency
"To work with a line or a certain piece of jewelry is a very introvert process that demands absorption and concentration in periods," she explains. When that phase is over, she travels into the world to see what meets her there. Her travels are a natural extension of the design process and the destinations never accidental. Her latest journey took her to Greenland to see the mines that supply the gold she uses in her jewelry. It is very important to Lina Christensen that the mines, as she says, are closed down responsibly when they are empty.
"Working with the gold - this magnificent material - unfortunately has a huge shadow side to it," she says. "How you behave environmentally is extremely important. Many of the materials we use are elements. They are taken directly from the ground - and that has to be done with respect for the particular territory.
