Olla

Jewellery With Something to Say. Politely, and in Very Small Letters.

In Estonian, olla means "to be", which is a rather large idea to hang on a bangle, but Olla manages it with some grace. The Estonian brand engraves short messages onto simple stainless steel bangles and necklaces: a favourite quote, a word of encouragement, the sort of thing you might need reminding of on a Tuesday afternoon and would rather not have to say out loud.

The bangles are clean, slim and easy to stack. The necklaces come on a 50cm chain you can adjust to suit, and there is a make-your-own option for anyone who already knows exactly what they want to say. Everything is nickel-free, scratch resistant and light enough to forget you are wearing it, whether that is at your desk, at the gym or at a wedding where you would quite like to be reminded to be brave.

They make a remarkably good present, largely because the message does the talking and spares you the card.
