The story

KINRADEN was founded by Sarah Emilie Müllertz, a Danish architect trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.⁴ Before she turned to jewellery she ran her own design studio and was a partner and global head of design at Henning Larsen Architects.⁴ The name comes from an Old English word for kindred.⁵ Every piece is made by hand from four materials: reclaimed 18 carat gold, sterling silver, sapphires and mpingo, a nearly black wood long used for clarinets, sourced from a WWF-protected forest in Tanzania.⁵ Its production is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council.⁵ The first KINRADEN shop is at Møntergade 3D in Copenhagen.⁶
