Description
’By the Fountain’ (Lähteellä) is one of the best-loved poems of Johan Ludvig Runeberg (1804–1877), the national poet of Finland. Its delicate imagery of Finnish nature in its summer splendour has also been set to music: ‘Oh fountain lovely, near thy side, into thy depths I gaze, as clouds above cast shadowy forms across thy limpid face.’ Runeberg’s verse inspired jewellery designer Kirsti Doukas. The Fountain jewellery features a light blue gem, a topaz. The gem glitters and shimmers like moonbeams reflecting from a clear spring. The silver frame around the stone resembles the calm surface of water. The Fountain jewellery was created in honour of Runeberg’s 200th anniversary.
