Marika Tiukkanen is a Finnish jewellery designer. Marika studied jewellery design at the Lahti Institute of Design and graduated in 2018. Since 2017 she has been working as an entrepreneur and creating jewellery in her home studio in Lahti. Although silver is her first material of choice, she remains open to other options: it all depends on what each piece of work requires at each moment.

“I get a kick out of simple things filled with emotions. My aim is to create elegant, insightful, and visually striking pieces while making them with as modest methods as possible. In my design I seek tranquility and balance.”

The artist’s career has also included running a gallery/design shop and organising several exhibitions in collaboration with herself. Marika is also a member of The Finnish Jewellery Art Association.
