About Gems & Gears
Founded in 2026 in Vantaa, Finland, Gems & Gears is an independent jewelry house committed to Nordic design purity, authentic precious metals, and ethical craftsmanship.
Our Heritage & Finnish Roots
Gems & Gears was established in 2026 by master goldsmith Mikko Lindqvist in Vantaa, Finland. After over a decade of training and working with renowned Finnish ateliers across the Uusimaa region, Mikko envisioned an atelier where traditional Nordic goldsmithing meets contemporary Scandinavian design — without inflated retail markups or opaque material sourcing.
From our studio based at Kaivokselantie 4 in Vantaa, we oversee every facet of our jewelry collection: from initial graphite sketches and metallurgical alloy balance to final prong setting, diamond inspection, and mirror-finish polishing.
Finnish Quality Standards & Certification
✦ Tukes Hallmarked Fineness
All precious metals adhere strictly to the regulations of Tukes (the Finnish Safety and Chemicals Agency). Every piece carries registered hallmark stamps (585 / 750 for solid gold, 925 for sterling silver) guaranteeing absolute alloy purity.
✦ Conflict-Free Diamonds
We source our natural diamonds strictly from suppliers compliant with the Kimberley Process Certification Scheme (KPCS). Our lab-grown diamonds are cut to the exact optical, physical, and chemical standards of GIA and IGI grading.
✦ Recycled Precious Metals
Over 80% of our gold and silver is refined from certified recycled Nordic stock, substantially reducing environmental impact while preserving lifelong metallurgical integrity.
