Rogue Sea Shop offers you unique nautical jewelry and print products that are designed in the archipelago by our small Finnish team. Here we tell a bit more about the creative processes behind our products, born from a deep love for the sea and designed for the sea-spirited.
Hand-forged Sea Jewelry from Silver and Sea Glass
Rogue Sea Creations' sea-themed jewelry is designed and handmade by one sea-spirited and innovative jewelry artist Alpo, who finds endless inspiration from the sea. Each unique silver piece is hand-forged from start to finish, meaning everything is truly handmade without AI designs, 3D printing or mould casting. All elements are sawn and formed by hand. For example, the "Wooden Boat" pendants are sawn and constructed one plank at a time. In this "boat building" picture, the stem is soldered to the boat's frame. Each piece of jewelry is handmade individually with time and never mass-produced.
All the sea glass in our jewelry is authentic and collected from the Baltic Sea shores. We don't sand or shape the glass - then it wouldn't really be sea glass anymore. We embrace its nature-made beauty and, if possible, try to make it even more beautiful in our sea glass jewelry. Rogue Sea Creations jewelry has been granted the Finnish Key Flag symbol as a guarantee of Finnish work and quality.
Making a piece of jewelry from start to finish includes e.g. drawing and designing, sawing, filing, sanding, carving, hammering, soldering, polishing, and, in this bracelet piece, some gilding.
Handmade Art Designs
Our unique Rogue Sea Creations print products range from coastal decor and homeware to nautical clothing and accessories. The designs are based on our photos and handmade art, drawings and paintings. Our inspiration comes from maritime nostalgia, traditional boats and sailing, especially in the beautiful Baltic Sea archipelago. Check our latest designs here.
