The 10-piece jewelry collection emphasizes the importance of the magpie in Nordic mythology.
Stockholm-based jewelry brand O.P. Jewellery has launched its latest collection, a collaboration with fellow Stockholm artist Ragnar Persson. Titled ‘SKATA SKATA’ – which translates to ‘MAGPIE MAGPIE’ in English – the collection honors the bird, which is linked to the giant Skadi and goddess Hel in Nordic myth. The brand’s slogan, “naive passion for shiny things,” has consistently evoked images of the magpie, aligning with the brand’s commitment to genuine, purposeful collections.
Established in 2014 by friends Ola E. Bernestål and Per Örås, O.P. Jewellery adopts a contemporary approach to men's jewelry. Each timeless piece is meticulously designed to be worn alone or layered with others, enduring across seasons and trends for a lifetime.
The unusual gothic tone of this collaboration adds a refreshing touch, reflecting folk painter Ragnar Persson’s signature intricate style featuring clawed talons, barbed wire, and feathers – all rich with symbolism in Nordic lore. Immersing himself in the realm of traditional folklore, Persson fuses classic natural motifs with modern gothic influences to create a collection that encapsulates the cultural resonance of the captivating bird.
“We have admired Ragnar’s work for many years and have always been fond of it. His art strikes a perfect balance between cool, quirky, and precise — a fascinating kind of perfection. It is a true privilege to collaborate on a collection. Our mutual intrigue with the myths surrounding the magpie — a creature integral to O.P’s narrative from the beginning — made this partnership feel organic,” shares Ola, co-founder of O.P. Jewellery.
Artist Cilla Ramnek showcases each of the 10 designs in a campaign photographed by renowned Scandinavian photographer Kristian Bengsson. Taken in Ragnar’s Stockholm studio, the images reveal the authentic rawness behind the creative process. Ramnek’s short nails, painted in various shades of the evil eye, rest on paint-splattered sinks, as she transitions between her desk, studio, and kitchen, enveloped in a thick Nordic blanket.
The collection is now available at opjewellery.com.
