Giwon was established in 2026 by Cecilie Svanberg. The name Giwon means "origin" or "beginning," reflecting a desire to explore her Scandinavian and Korean heritage through aesthetics and design. This exploration unfolds in a collection of sculptural, poetic jewellery and objects for everyday life.

Traditional Korean Moon Jars are a defining source of inspiration for the brand. Formed by joining two separate halves into a harmonious whole, they embody a sense of unity reflected in Giwon’s aesthetic language - where distinct elements are brought together into a single, considered form, mirroring the union of the founder’s two cultures.

The pear appears as a recurring motif within the collection - a quiet reference to the founder’s Korean name, which translates to "daughter of the fragrant pear tree." Like the Moon Jar, it carries a sense of origin, symbolism and continuity, subtly woven into Giwon’s visual language and collaborations.

All pieces are handcrafted in Copenhagen from recycled sterling silver by skilled artisans. Production is intentionally limited, with designs made to order, allowing Giwon to prioritise quality, care and intention at every stage.

Giwon is not simply a jewellery brand - it is a contemplation of identity, duality and balance, expressed through shape and material.
