Stinne Holm completed her apprenticeship as a goldsmith in 2004 and has had
her own studio since 2010. Her style is Scandinavian with a raw urban touch,
inspired by the district of Nørrebro in Copenhagen, where her studio is situated.
She challenges women to find their own unique style and to not be afraid to stand
out and be themselves.

“My customers are women who aren’t
afraid to stand out and be a bit different.
Most importantly, they are not afraid to
be themselves. I like to lovingly push
women to be a bit wilder than they intend
to be. I want women to have the courage
to have their own unique style and be
themselves,” says Stinne Holm, gold-
smith and designer.
Holm completed her apprenticeship
as a goldsmith in 2004 and was taught
everything in a very ‘old-school’ way. She
always knew, however, that she wanted
to create more modern jewellery influ-
enced by Scandinavian simplicity.
“I’m inspired by my surroundings,” Holm
says. “I grew up in the countryside, where
I learned to appreciate precious metals
and had access to a workshop, and my
urban surroundings in Copenhagen also
inspire me every day.”Made with love and passion
These days, it is common for designers
to bring out collection after collection.
Stinne Holm, however, is different. “I
don’t really work with changing collec-
tions. My collection is growing constant-
ly, but I also take things out, so that the
collection does not become too big. I have
classics I’ve made for years, but I like in-
troducing new pieces and then taking out
some of the old pieces,” Holm explains.Holm’s team consists of herself, anoth-
er goldsmith and an apprentice. They
all work in the studio in the district of
Nørrebro in Copenhagen.Edgy and unique jewellery handmade

“Each and every piece of jewellery is made
with love and passion. Everything is hand-
made, meaning that each piece is unique,
and you won’t find two pieces that are the
same,” Holm comments. “I don’t dream
about having a big studio or of having my
jewellery mass-produced. I like that my
jewellery is handmade in Denmark, and I
like that I get to design and make the jew-
ellery myself. I think it would lose value if
we had it mass-produced. And I like the
idea that not everyone walks around with
the same things. That’s also why I clean
out the collection regularly and only make
a limited number of each piece.”Holm adds: “It’s important to me that
craftmanship goes hand-in-hand with the
best materials and unique design. I work
with 18-karat gold and silver, and always
with high-quality diamonds. I’ve found my
own style, and I’m not affected by trends. I
always stay true to my own style.”Scan Magazine | Design Profile | Guldsmed Stinne Holm
