Joy Collection by Ingegerd Råman for Högdalen

Ingegerd Råman is a designer who, by creating things she herself wants, has become a classic in Swedish homes. Now she is venturing into uncharted waters with the release of her jewellery collection “Joy” – an exclusive to The Högdalen.

Previous collaborations with the Högdalen have been with, Jocke Berg and Thåström among others, two persons you might not directly associate with Ingegerd Råman. ”It has been and still is so exciting,” says Efva. “From the rockers to dame Ingegerd.”

Ingegerd’s collection ”Joy” consists of a brooch in two sizes and a pair of earrings. The bean-shaped jewellery is made in silver, and the brooch is attached with a magnet.

”I had an idea for the brooch, which has the shape of a bean,” says Ingegerd. ”A bean contains so much promise of new life. The bean has always been a beautiful, lifegiving shape for me. Maybe because it also resembles the unborn child.”

Ingegerd Råman makes design that she would like and want herself. Her previous works have had straight lines and simple shapes as a common thread. ”Joy” differs in this way with its soft, organic expression. The jewellery’s cosmos-like tangle-pattern, on the other hand, is a motif Ingegerd has worked with before, but on glass.

”I usually say that I am the first customer,” she says. ”I should want to wear it almost all the time and I hope others will want to as well.”

Efva adds: ”I have always had Ingegerd’s glasses at home and have admired her for many, many years. I recognize Ingegerd’s hand in our new brooch and am so looking forward to wearing it. Brooches have not received much attention lately, not since Albright and her huge brooch collection, but lately we’ve seen it on the rise.”
