Our Story

ADDALIT WAS BORN OUT OF THE COLLECTIVE CREATIVITY OF ITS FOUNDERS, JONNA JARVENPAA AND LAURA VILPPULA, BOTH RAISED IN FINLAND AND CURRENTLY RESIDING IN LONDON.

THE COMBINATION OF THEIR MUTUAL PASSION FOR FINE JEWELLERY AND DESIGN, ALONG WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY EYE FOR LUXURY, INSPIRED THEM TO ESTABLISH ADDALIT JEWELLERY. ADDALIT FOCUSES ON LIMITED EDITION PIECES AND ALSO OFFERS ITS CUSTOMERS A DEMI-BESPOKE SERVICE, WHICH ALLOWS THE CLIENT TO PERSONALISE ANY OF ADDALIT'S DESIGNS AND MAKE IT UNIQUE.

JONNA BEGAN HER CAREER AS A MODEL WORKING FOR SOME OF THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS FASHION COMPANIES. SHE PURSUED HER CAREER STUDYING SHOE DESIGN IN FINLAND AND LATER GRADUATED FROM THE LONDON COLLEGE OF FASHION WITH A DEGREE IN FASHION MARKETING.

OVER HER CAREER, SHE DEVELOPED A DEEP UNDERSTANDING AND CONNECTION WITH THE LUXURY INDUSTRY AND ADDALIT IS THE CULMINATION OF HER CREATIVE ENDEAVOURS.

“THE DESIGNS OF ADDALIT INCORPORATE MY GLOBAL TRAVELS AND ADVENTURES, MY NORDIC ROOTS AND DYNAMIC LONDON LIFESTYLE. BEAUTY IS EVERYWHERE, AND EVEN THE SMALLEST AESTHETIC STIMULATION CAN LEAD TO A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF JEWELLERY.”

LAURA, WHILE STUDYING AT THE GEMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA, DEVELOPED AN EXCEPTIONAL KNOWLEDGE FOR DIAMONDS AND PRECIOUS STONES. SHE TRAVELS THE WORLD TO HANDPICK THE STONES TO ENSURE THEY ARE OF HIGHEST QUALITY.

"IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOT ONLY TO FIND A STONE WITH GOOD COLOUR AND CLARITY, BUT ALSO TO FIND ONE WITH LIFE IN IT."

IT WAS THIS UNDERSTANDING AND PASSION FOR QUALITY STONES WHICH LEAD TO ADDALIT USING ONLY THE FINEST MATERIALS.

THE CONCEPT OF ADDALIT IS TO CELEBRATE FEMININITY. WHILE THERE MAY BE A MODERN EDGINESS TO THE JEWELLERY COLLECTIONS, THEY MAINTAIN A STRONG SENSE OF CLASSIC BEAUTY.
