Orri Finn Design sits in the center of Reykjavik, tucked among a row of shops that’s easy to pass unless you know to look for it. The shop is compact, with glass cases and open shelves arranged so every piece is visible up close. Most people move from one display to the next, trying on rings or bracelets at the counter. If a piece isn’t the right size, staff measure you on the spot – sometimes you wait while it’s adjusted, other times you arrange to pick it up later or have it shipped.
All the jewelry here is designed and made locally. The main focus is on silver and gold rings, anchor bracelets, necklaces, and a handful of pieces built around the Ouroboros symbol. Engraving is available for those looking to personalize a piece. The shop keeps a working selection on hand, but the online store covers a broader range if you’re after something specific or need international shipping.
The space is run by the designer himself, usually with a small team nearby. It’s common to see them at the workbench or discussing a design at the counter. The shop feels more like a working studio than a typical retail space – most of the attention stays on the craft and the physical details of each piece, not just the display.
Access is straightforward: walk in during posted hours, browse the cases, get measured, and either leave with your jewelry or set up pickup or shipping. Most pieces are made or finished on-site, and the collections often draw on Icelandic themes or motifs. The shop works for visitors looking for something distinctly local, as well as regulars who return for custom work or new designs.
