Pekka Piekäinen

Pekka Piekäinen’s work is celebrated for its clean, minimalist lines and thoughtful use of color. Drawing inspiration from nature and everyday life, he translated these elements into elegant jewelry, objects, and timepieces. Notably, he was the first Finn—and the first from the Nordic region—to have his jewelry sold at Tiffany & Co., solidifying his international reputation.

From 1971 to 1989, Piekäinen served as the Head Designer at Auran Kultasepät, where he honed his craft and influenced Finnish design. He also collaborated with prestigious watch brands, including Omega, Tissot, and Lanco, showcasing his versatility in design. In 1991, he founded the jeweler Platinoro, further cementing his legacy.

His creations reached global prominence, with notable clients such as Princess Diana, reflecting his ability to merge Scandinavian simplicity with universal elegance.
