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.

studio 6 - a northern gem

Studio 6

Leaving Reykjavík and venturing out into the unspoilt beauty of Icelandic nature does not mean leaving civilisation behind – or luxury at that. Akureyri, the capital of the northern part of the country, has a brand new jewellery store which opened in October 2004. The only store of its kind in the northern regions, Studio 6 offers Northerners jewellery at its best.

Owned by a young goldsmith, who returned to Iceland to set up the studio after studies in Sweden, the store holds both men and women’s jewellery. It stocks no other products than the owner’s own designs. Since the designer himself is a young man, a certain emphasis is put on designs for men – which are often left out to some extent within the world of jewellery.

All pieces are exclusive and handmade in the owner’s studio, on the same premises as the store. The designs have an air of sophistication and traditional quality about them. Gold and silver are favoured materials, and some pieces feature the two in a delicate blend. Unable to ignore the riches of the nature surrounding him, the jeweller frequently uses Icelandic stones in his designs - while never neglecting diamonds or the other precious stones inseparable from classical jewellery. In between the refined, exquisite pieces lie some of slightly rougher design but still maintaining a polished look.

The store’s designs seem to appeal to all, with customers of all ages and both sexes. Check out this store for hidden northern gems.
