From our hands to your ears

Designed by Tanja. Handmade in Copenhagen. Powered by creativity, sharp tools and a serious obsession with color.

At byFossdal, we don't do mass production. We do bold ideas, unexpected materials and statement earrings made by real people, right here in our little shop and workshop in Nørrebro, Copenhagen.

Your jewelry is made to order, and we dispatch your order within 1–3 business days. Delivery time comes in addition to this. Here's a little look at what happens behind the scenes while we bring your pieces to life.

Every design comes from the mind (and hands) of our founder and designer, Tanja Fossdal.

Sometimes it starts with a color combination, sometimes an unusual material, and sometimes it's simply the question: What happens if I try THIS?

Tanja loves experimenting with shapes, colors and materials, turning everything from colorful acrylic and lightweight flexible materials to vegan leather and other unexpected treasures into wearable statements.

But while the designs are Tanja's, bringing them to life is a team effort.

So, what happens when you click BUY?

Here's something you might not know: We don't have shelves full of finished earrings waiting to be shipped.

When you place an order, that's when we get to work making your jewelry.

To keep the process as quick as possible, we usually have the individual components pre-cut and ready to go. But sometimes your order means firing up our Roland cutting machine, putting our die-cutting press to work, or even sending Tanja on a little bike ride across Copenhagen to Vesterbro, where she rents time on a laser cutter to create the pieces we need.

Whatever it takes to bring your earrings to life!

Then comes the hands-on part.

We assemble your earrings by hand, piece by piece, combining colors, shapes and layers until everything comes together.

Some designs are fairly simple. Others, like our signature The Wings, involve multiple layers and quite a bit of patience.

We use sterling silver and surgical steel for our earring findings, carefully chosen for their skin-friendly qualities and suitability for sensitive ears.

Once your earrings are assembled, we check the details, carefully pack your order and prepare it for shipping.

And off they go. From our little Copenhagen workshop to your ears.

No big warehouse. No assembly lines. Just us.

Our shop and workshop are all under one roof, and the finished earrings you see on display in our store are pretty much our only ready-made stock.

Everything else comes together as orders roll in.

It's a small operation with a lot of moving parts, colorful materials, creative chaos and hands that are rarely sitting still.

And that's exactly how we like it.

Small team. Big personality.

We put a lot of thought into the materials, shapes, colors and construction of every design. Because we believe statement earrings should be as comfortable to wear as they are impossible to ignore.

And while we take the making seriously, we believe wearing jewellery should be fun.

Our pieces are an invitation to play with color, express yourself and take up a little more space. Not just on special occasions, but on an ordinary Tuesday, too.

We're not interested in telling you what colors are in fashion this season. We believe you deserve the whole damn rainbow to play with, whenever you feel like it.

Designed by Tanja. Made by our hands. Made to stand out.

Because at byFossdal, life is the occasion.
