About Iceland
Iceland is a refreshingly unconventional travel destination. The Icelandic nature is unspoilt, exotic and mystical with its spouting geysers, active volcanoes, tumbling waterfalls, towering mountains, vast lava plains and magical lakes. Iceland’s fjords, glaciers and highland plains present visitors with some of the most beautiful and enchanting places they will ever see, as well as a rare feeling of utter tranquillity.

For travelers on a quest for action, Iceland’s pristine nature offers great potential for outdoor activities such as snowmobiling, horse riding, cave exploring, hiking, swimming, skiing, river rafting, kayaking and mountain safaris on modified four-wheel drives, to name but a few. Iceland supports a surprisingly diverse Nordic flora and fauna and is an ideal place for ornithology enthusiasts, while also offering some of the world’s best whale watching destinations.

About Reykjavik
Reykjavík sometimes feels like a cosmopolitan capital and a tiny seaside village - all wrapped up in one. But Reykjavík has the best of both worlds; the qualities of a modern, forward-looking society complemented by a close connection to Iceland‚s beautiful and unspoilt nature.

Reykjavík’s legendary nightlife is bolstered by plentiful cultural and social happenings in addition to an abundance of first-class restaurants. The size of Reykjavik city centre is also limited enough to allow for easy navigation by foot. Reykjavík has been described as a young and daring city that is characterized by strong contrasts. Conveniently small, clean and safe, it is more or less free from the major problems that haunt many other capitals. Big city events are frequent, the winter lights festival finished recently with thousands of participants and more tourist at this time of the year than we are used to.

Gullkúnst – linking the best of two worlds.

Gullkúnst

The Icelandic nature has often been praised for its ruggedness, moonlike surfaces and awe-inspiring shapes. Imagine a piece of its raw energy combined with the most refined of substances. Gullkúnst does just this.

The store sells almost exclusively the owners’ own design, along with a few imported pieces. It has classical pieces such as pearls and neat German watches, but their main focus is on the possibilites provided by the Icelandic landscape. One of the trademarks of Gullkúnst is the combination of a rough element with the highly polished look of a diamond or gold. In their work, stones from the shores – smoothed by the sea’s incessant rolling – pieces of lava and raw and coarse silver are a reoccurring feature.

Always seeking new ways of expression, one of Gullkúnst’s latest designs is the pairing of the colours characteristic of the hot spring areas with a precious stone. A new line, which is now being developed, features raw diamonds in different combinations – totally unpolished and straight from the mines. This refreshing design succeeds in being elegant with a modern, captivating twist.

Find this appealing mixture of polished sophistication and unprocessed, natural substances at Laugavegur 13.
