handcrafted original designs
I started Bodil Jewelry in 2007, but my
story as an artists begins much earlier, as
a young girl living in Sweden. My mother
was a weaver; my father, a photographer;
my grandfather and uncle, painters. Their
appreciation of light, texture and color were
very much a part of my childhood and continue
to inform my work as a jeweler today.
For many years, my family would summer
on the northern shores of Denmark. Nearly
every day, my sister and I would play and
explore along the beaches. The treasures
we discovered could have filled our small
cottage! By far our favorites were the sea
glass and ancient amber washed ashore by
the tide, and small stones shaped into hearts
by the sea. My Heart Stones, and Sea Glass
Collections find their origins here.
The sea is my first love, travel my second.
I have had the good fortune to spend time
in some of the most beautiful locales - the
Virgins Islands, Sanibel Island, and Hawaii
among them. For many years, I operated my
own travel agency and helped others find their
paradise on earth. Now, I share my love of
travel with my daughter, whose photographs
inspire many of the micro mosaics contained
in Aerial View Collection.
Bodil Jewelry is simple, elegant, and
intended to recall the wearer’s favorite beach
or travel destination. There is a natural
playfulness and joy in each handmade
piece, expressing the wearer’s love of nature
and wonder at the world’s great beauty.
Bodil Jewelry currently offers the following
collections at wholesale prices for select
retailers.
Heart Stones are pendants cast in solid

sterling silver. They are replicas of actual
stones I have found by the sea. Each threedimensional Heart Stone bears nature’s
unique design and the smooth, yet textured
surface of stone.
The Sea Glass Collection features rings,
bracelets, earrings and necklaces adorned
with sea glass and sterling silver cast from
hand-carved molds. This collection includes
found glass, and reclaimed Depression and
Carnival glass from the 1920’s and 1930’s.
The Aerial View Collection captures
enticing vistas my daughter and I have
glimpsed during flight - sunlight on silvery
lakes, thrilling cloudscapes, dappled plains,
and starlit skies. Each pendant is composed
of tiny, delicate seed beads, and pieces of
shell, and set in airplane window shaped
frames made of sterling silver.
Believing in responsible consumption of
natural resources, reclaimed sterling silver is
used. All jewelry is made in the USA.
