Meet The Man from Mercury, a rare and striking silver cuff designed in 1970 by the Finnish sculptor Björn Weckström for Lapponia.

It’s from a range of important jewels he began in the late 60s named Space Silver – the best-known being the Planetoid Valleys necklace of 1969 that Carrie Fisher wore as Princess Leia in the final scene of 1977’s Star Wars.

As well as drawing inspiration from the excitement of space exploration and the first moon landings, the collection conveys Lapland’s challenging winter landscapes – slabs of shining white snow pushed around by the wind to form sculptural shapes that threaten to overpower the tiny human figures traversing them.

This “Mercurius” man has already travelled around the world. Will he make his way to you?
