Most jewelry are from 30-40 century from Kalevala Koru that I purchase in Sweden, are those jewelry that has a history behind it. Some of these bronze jewelry was exchangeable
for a pack of butter, when private Finns came to Sweden during the war for a few days, and it was not often.
During the war some Finnish sent there children to Sweden to a family who would take care of them during this difficult time,
since they where close to the border and fighting. The finest thing they could give to someone was a kalevala koru , so that they sent that with the children as a thank you
for taking care of them.
