BACKGROUND AND MATERIAL INFORMATION ABOUT SWEDART JEWELRY:
The jewelry originated in a 10,000 year old culture in northern Europe. Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Kola Peninsula of Russia have an indigenous population called the Sami People. The Sami lived on the land before the rest of the Scandinavians arrived.
There are still 3,000 Sami (formerly called Laplanders) who live near or above the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland who own herds with sometimes thousands of domesticated reindeer (caribou) and have reindeer husbandry as their livelihood.
Sami artisans have made beautiful crafts of leather with details of antlers and embroidered with spun pewter and copper wire for hundreds of years. The animals are slaughtered for the excellent meat and never for the hides or antlers.
The Lapland jewelry has been handmade of soft top grade reindeer leather and high quality spun pewter wire (nickel free alloy with 4% silver). A few leather fashion colors are made of European lambskin. The wire is spun around strong synthetic sinew thread on a small machine. In the old days, it was made completely by hand by the Sami who invented this type of attractive looking pewter wire. Some braid designs have a colored enameled spun copper wire in addition to the pewter wire. The braid is sewn on the leather from several directions for durability. The button is made of shed reindeer antler tips, the leather loop has been reinforced with synthetic sinew, and the leather is hand sewn with strong synthetic sinew thread.
