Wedding bands in polished silver with Kintsugi inspired irregular lines of gold on top and a brilliant cut diamond set into one of them.

Wedding bands designed for a couple in Austria. The polished silver rings are inspired by Kintsugi and handmade to the ideas, wishes and background history of my customers. #weddingbands #wedding #Kintsugi #goldsmithing #handmade #bysonjaseidl #designerjewellery #silver #handmade #luxurygoods

Homemade small cakes made of marcipan, egg whites and sugar, filled with prunes, and topped with apricot glaze and hazelnuts. Traditionally eaten at New Year's eve in Denmark.

Happy New Year 2026! 🎊 We tried to bake #traditional Danish #Kransekage for New Year's Evening, and it turned out to taste delicious. The recipe is from the book "Blomsterberg's Søde Sager" (Politikkens forlag). Small #Marcipan #cakes filled with prunes and topped with hazelnuts and apricot glaze.

Picture of a paper collage of a tiger head.

My son and I had fun making paper collage pictures on a Sunday afternoon. He decided for a tiger head and I really like the outcome and the talks we had during the proces. #Louis #creativework #tiger #roaringtiger #papermosaic #funwithkids #byLouis #Sundayafternoon #kids #paper #collage

Forrestview in Denmark with old oak trees in autumn sunlight.

Today around noon I went for a long walk in the Danish #forrests to visit the very beautiful huge old #oaktrees, that make me think of #fairytales. Bright sunshine and a wonderful fresh air with #autumn smells of leaves and earth gave me new energy. #Klosterskoven #photo #bysonjaseidl #inspiration

Two pairs of silver earrings

A pair of earrings, I have been making in many variations. 'Karambole' earrings are like many others of my designs inspired by geometry in nature, as observed in beautiful small seed cases or flower buds. #Earrings #silver925 #Karambole #designjewellery #handcrafted #bysonjaseidl #goldsmith

Calligraphy poster with a boat illustration and handwritten text from a Hemingway novel in shades of blue and green.

Another poster in shades of blue and green from the same period of time, around 1997. The handwritten text is from a novel by Hemingway. I used water colour both for the letters and illustration. #calligraphy #Kalligraphie #Hemingway #watercolour #Aquarell #bysonjaseidl #Handschrift #poster #kursiv

Painting of a woman seated at the window in a cozy 18th century living room, painted by Danish artist Bertha Wegmann.

SMK. I saw a very inspiring exhibition at the "Statens Museum for Kunst" in Copenhagen the other day, together with my friend. Here a wonderful portrait by Danish artist Bertha Wegmann. #painting #oiloncanvas #berthawegmann #SMK #exhibition #DanishArt #portrait

Chunky silver ring with gold bezel and blue-green aquamarine cabochon gemstone.

Chunky Sterlig silver ring with a 18ct gold bezel, that frames a beautifully cut aquamarine cabochon with an unique inclusion. I designed this ring for a woman who appreciates hand crafted jewellery. #finejewellery #finejewelry #gemstone #stonesetting #ring #aquamarine #bysonjaseidl #goldsmith #art

Beautiful! Also with this background.

Fine gold objects shaped by punches into small shapes of flower petals.

Simple sketches from an earlier work proces, where I made my own steel punches to get the desired design result. Spring approaching with the first tiny flowers. Let's see where it goes. #Spring #sketches #finegold #earrings #finejewellery #flowers #smithing #goldsmithing #steelpunches #bysonjaseidl

Lake Buresø. Sightseeing in Denmark. Beautiful nature along the shore and great paths for walking. An early March morning with bright sunshine. #sightseeingDk #lake #landscape #sunrise #bluesky #bysonjaseidl #inspiration #nature

Landscape photo of Lake Buresø in Denmark at sunrise.

Lake Buresø in Denmark with a beautiful sunrise yesterday morning. I went for an early walk along the shore and enjoyed the wonderful scenery in March. I might show a few more landscape photos, which I use as an inspiration for my goldsmithing and art work. #bysonjaseidl #inspiration #Buresø #lake

A beautiful black hairband decorated with carneol beads on gold thread, and mounted with oxidised flowers in sterling silver. Creative craftmanship. Romantic mind. Love for decoration & detail. #handcrafted #finejewellery #finejewelry #bysonjaseidl #goldsmith #artist #designjewelry #MArca #carneol

Thank you. They did. 😊

I used wheat flour for the pastry, but you might substitute with a gluten free alternative? I think it should be possible, maybe a mix of ground nuts and rice flour?

Picture of a shortcrust pastry cake with rice pudding filling and beautiful decorations with butterflies, dried rasberries and silver sugar pearls on top.

Yesterday I made this Japanese rice cake for our friends' visit. A sweet shortcrust pastry with almonds and a filling of creamy rice pudding, scented with rose water and vanilla, and thinly sliced apples. 🌹 It goes well with lemon sorbet. #baking #Japan #bakingsky #bysonjaseidl #ricecake #rosewater

Silver ring with sculptural decoration on top.

This cast silver ring evokes many different associations in people, which I think is interesting, that we can see and be inspired by things in different ways. #Ring #Champagne #Silver #casting #finejewelry #handcrafted #finejewellery #bysonjaseidl #goldsmith #silversmith

Photo of crispy baked rye bread slices, which make a nice snack.

Baking yesterday was a success, kids have been eating all in just one day. In Danish we call it 'Rugbrødschips' (rye bread chips). Cut a loaf of rye bread in thin slices, brush with little oil, drizzle with salt and oregano, and bake for about 20 min until crispy. #snack #chips #baking #bread #fun

I really like your thoughts to it, and the ring is great.

Thx! I also think a lot about how I could use glass in jewellery. One reason is for it's colours and all the possibilities in that, another reason is that it is more friendly to the environment, and cheaper at the same time.

Experimenting with glass today, together with my son Ilja... Maybe I can use those first sketches as lids in wooden boxes. It is snowing outside, a cozy Saturday morning. #experiments #inspiration #holidaywithmyson #familyactivity #glass #colouredglass #tryingsomethingnew #cozysaturday

I love that idea!

My Amaryllis is flowering so beautifully these days. #gardening #drawinginspiration #beautiful #flower #flowers #inspiration #inspired #red #Sonjasprojects #sunshine #February

Great work! 👏

Round silver tea box with golden metal mesh decoration on top.

Memories. This silver teabox I made many years ago, and later sold it to a very nice couple. On top of a glass lid a decoration of electroformed and fine gold plated metal mesh. #teabox #Teedose #Tee #tea #Silver925 #box #experimentalartwork #silversmithing #finejewellery #finejewelry #bysonjaseidl

Wonderful. Same here...

Important to get aware of. Thx for sharing.
