Lumoava Finland

What Lumoava Finland does

Lumoava Finland Oy is a Finnish family-owned jewelry manufacturer founded in 1942 in Kuopio, operating what is described as the world's northernmost jewelry factory. The company handcrafts silver and gold jewelry under its own Lumoava and Saurum brands using 100% recycled precious metals, combining traditional goldsmith techniques with modern 3D printing and laser marking technology. Its product portfolio spans women's and men's jewelry, confirmation crosses, wedding collections, home products, and an exclusive Lumoava x Moomin licensed collaboration.

Beyond manufacturing, the company is the official Finnish importer and distributor for Citizen and Rhythm watch brands, providing wholesale supply to a Finnish retailer network (jälleenmyyjät) through its Holvi B2B ordering portal. It also operates a direct B2B corporate sales channel for employee recognition and business gifting with custom laser marking, and a consumer e-commerce site. In November 2022 it opened a Visitor Center at the Kuopio factory to celebrate its 80th anniversary, adding factory tours, museum exhibits, and hands-on jewelry-making experiences as a tourism and educational revenue stream, supported by EU Regional Development Fund co-financing.

The company is privately held under the Räisänen family, currently led by CEO Mikko Pessi with a team of approximately 35 employees across production, design, sales, marketing, and administration. Operations are concentrated in Kuopio with remote work options across Finland, and the entire revenue base is generated within the Finnish domestic market across B2C consumers, B2B retailers, corporate clients, and visitor-center guests.
