Every item of bronze Sampo Bijouterie is more than just a bijouterie item. The original models of these decorations, found in the cource of archaeological excavations in Ingria and Karelia, and also in the Upper Volga region, date back to the period of 9th to 13th centuries.
One can see those finds at the Hermitage, in the Russian Ethnographical Meseum, in the Peter and Paul Fortress, in the museums of Old Ladoga and in many other historical museums.
Our ancestors thought that birds are our guardians. Birds are mysterious creatures, they can fly high in the sky, therefore they reside both in the ordinary world and beyond it. Ancient people belived that souls of their ancestors dwell in ducks to guard them.
Our lovely Goose Pendant symbolizes connection of times and generations.
“Sampo” is the Russian company dedicated to the studying of the history and traditions of the nations which lived on the vast territories from Ural to Baltic countries. Also they produce the ethnic jewelry to preserve the unique culture of these nations. “Sampo” transfers a part of money from selling their bijouterie to the old people’s homes and other social centers.
