Atelier Torbjörn Tillander’s jewelry is known for colored gemstones and its delicious color combinations. The ruby, emerald and sapphire are the most traditional precious stones that we prefer to use. Out of the sapphire’s range of colors we love to buy not only sophisticated blues but also other mouth-watering colours such as yellow, orange, green, shades of violet and pink.
Other beautiful stones are amongst others the delicately light colored morganites and beryls. Our ever-green stone the tourmaline is found in rich juicy greens and luscious reds but also in an array of pinks. Not to mention the amazing and rare neon-green and blue Paraíba Tourmaline.
if you are a gemstone lover like us, we design jewelry out of our customers’ own stones as well.
PEARLS
PEARLS
Pearls are divided into freshwater pearls and saltwater pearls depending on where they are cultured. A sleek and smooth surface, a round shape and good lustre are indicators of quality. Almost all pearls are cultured and created through the aid of man. Natural pearls are rare and present almost solely in antique jewelry.

HAPPY BRACELET
Happy Collection
Tahitian pearls and South Sea pearls are the queens of pearls. They are remarkable in size, round, drop shaped or irregular so called baroque pearls. The range of colors is extensive and ranges from various light colors to very dark ones. At its best the surface of these pearls has a colored shimmer that resembles the metallic lustre of a peacocks plume.

Bloom Collection
Saltwater pearls are an ecological and environmentally friendly product, as pearl oysters do not thrive in polluted waters. Only a thriving and healthy oyster produces beautiful pearls. This motivates pearl farms to take care of their environments.

Ballet Collection
Freshwater pearls are more affordable and recognizable by their slightly elliptic shape and matter lustre. These pearls are often dyed and treated in various ways. Thanks to the increasing and continuously developing cultivation of freshwater pearls the selection of them has improved and become more comprehensive.
METALS
METALS
Jewelry made by Atelier Torbjörn Tillander is elaborately hand crafted and therefore made by the most suitable and fine materials. As is customary in the jewelry industry, we use recycled gold for all our gold materials. We also strive for comprehensive recycling in our operations and carefully select our raw materials.
GOLD

INONA NECKLACE
Waves Collection
We use mainly 750‰ gold and white gold (18 carats) and 950‰ platinum as metals in our collection. 750‰ gold is well suited for handcrafted jewelry as it is easy to work and beautiful once polished. White gold is ever so often rhodium plated which makes the surface of white gold even more white. We also use non-coated white gold as the metal is stunning in itself. We prefer dark rhodium plating as well, since its surface of white gold nearly black suits our taste in design.

CUSHION HALO TRIPTYCH RING
Yes Collection
Platinum is the most noble metal of all and has a whiter colour than white gold. There is no need to plate platinum as its real colour is instantly visible. Our goldsmiths are specialized crafting jewelry out of this challenging metal. Platinum has a soft but durable surface that over time gets its characteristic silky patina.
