One style for each year of creation. “In my Ten Year Anniversary Collection, you will find ten different necklaces, one for each year I have been designing jewellery. Each piece tells you a story about a meaningful part of my life. On the following pages, I will take you through my personal glimpses of inspiration behind each piece.� - Pernille Corydon The Milestone Collection is inspired by the impressions Pernille has captured on her way and is a tribute to the moments we love to remember. It can be the beginning of something new, a journey with your loved ones, a dance to your favorite rhythm or a special adventure. Every piece in the Milestone Collection tells a different story. Make that story your own and keep that memory close to your heart.

Born in 1976, Pernille Corydon grew up in the small town of Kerteminde on the Danish island of Funen. Pernille Corydon’s interest in crafts proved at an early age and through the years her unique talent became more and more obvious. In 2007 Pernille Corydon started focusing on designing jewellery, shaped and produced by her own hands. ”Creation is my great passion. I constantly see new possibilities and shapes. The urge to create has always been a part of me. I find my inspiration in architecture, furniture, fashion, nature and in people. I am very observant, and I see details that inspire me everywhere,” says Pernille Corydon.

“When I started out ten years ago, I had no idea where the road I had ventured down would take me.” The Genesis necklace is created to symbolize the beginning of Pernille Corydon’s Jewellery adventure. In this style, everything but the bare essentials have been spared. This is the essence of Pernille Corydon’s design philosophy. The starting point of her passionate desire to capture the essence and the look of simplicity.

According to the designer herself the Essence piece is the definition of all the jewellery she has created for the past ten years. Characteristic, round and geometric shapes have influenced the styles since the very first pieces were made and Essence is as simplistic and pure as it possibly gets. “I started designing jewellery, because I wanted to create simple pieces of everyday beauty. This necklace celebrates that desire.�

To Pernille Corydon, the Harmony necklace represents balance in life. Each of the stars in this piece has a special meaning to her. One for each meaningful person or aspect in her own life. “I believe in treasuring the valuables in your life. The Harmony piece has a star for each of the important people in my life but also one for my work. Balance between work and your personal life, is essential.�

This Ten Year Anniversary Collection is her 29th and in the ten new necklaces Pernille Corydon has captured the essence of the creativity that has been the foundation of her work from the beginning.

FI N D I N G YO UR OW N WAY
Cicerone is an old term for guide and the necklace has a significant meaning in the Milestone Collection. Starting out designing jewellery ten years ago, Pernille Corydon had only one option: To follow her instinct. “Throughout your life you often have to make choices and you have to listen to your inner feeling before you choose which way to go. I have learned that by trusting your intuition you will become your own best guide.�

Sometimes you have to set yourself free. Allow yourself to relax. Give in to daydreaming and seize the moment. The Bounty necklace symbolizes the freedom of letting go and being good to yourself. ”My inspiration to this piece comes from the picture below. I took it on a recent trip to Thailand and the picture reminds me, that when you allow yourself to relax and let go, new ideas and inspiration comes to you.”

Maze celebrates the pulsating city life and the big city feel. Going urban and letting in the energy and never ending chaos of the big city, brings a special feeling to Pernille Corydon. A feeling of a different way of life. “The energy in the city gives you a rush. The wonderful diversity of people and places fascinates me. As much as I need to wind down far away from everything, I love to feel and absorb the big city vibe.�

Often you get just as many impressions in your everyday life as you do travelling. Sometimes they can be right there in your own garden: “Watching the Japanese cherry trees in my garden blossom is very special to me, and the pink explosion of colour and scent moves me every time.” Pernille Corydon used the powerful impressions from her own garden to create the Sakura, a piece that in her own words celebrates the feminine beauty of nature.

Pernille gets her inspiration from everyday life, from different places around the world, and from brief moments with many different people. She describes it like this: “I find my inspiration in everyday life and I am drawn to shapes in nature and architecture. Urbanity, diversity and contrast fascinates me.”
“In Iceland you see constant changeability, infinite contrasts and strong, changing colours. It all inspires me deeply. This island in the high North has made a tremendous impression on me.“ 22

Escape represents the peacefulness you feel on the beach when you are totally relaxed. Pernille Corydon loves to travel and frequently she ends up gathering inspiration for new jewellery when she is supposed to be unwinding. “I made this style thinking of the beaches in Thailand, one of my favorite travelling destinations. But the spirit of Escape is the soothing atmosphere on any warm and pleasant place you dream of visiting.“

Music and rhythm can be magical for the mind. Concerts and experiences involving music has a deep and personal meaning to Pernille Corydon. Rhythm is the piece in the Milestone Collection where the designer returns to one of the constants in her creative life: “When I am in my creative mindset I often listen to music and let my thoughts go. It helps me to set the right mood and gives me the finest mindset for creating.�

For the past ten years Pernille Corydon has designed everyday beauty. She designs each and every piece of jewellery in the collection herself. During her design work, Pernille transforms the impressions captured on her way into preliminary sketches. “I always draw my pieces by hand. It sets my creativity free and allows me to let my ideas flow. Sometimes it ends up just the way I imagined and sometimes it leads to new styles and ideas.�

Honua is the final piece in the Milestone Collection and it’s position is carefully chosen. “Honua” is the Hawaiian word for “world” and this necklace is about giving in to your wanderlust and setting out on new adventures. “In Honua I have captured the future and the feeling that the whole world is open to all of us. I have been on my own journey for ten years now, but Honua represents something more: That new beginnings can lead to wonderful adventures.”
