Fantasy helps ease the hardships of reality. Learn how Harry met Sofie.

“It’s another way of exploring the world, right from your own bedroom.”

Follow the trajectory of my object as it migrates from Umea, Sweden to Bournemouth, United Kingdom.

Necklace Migrating.

“That was the coolest place I had ever heard of.”

JEWELRY and literature are both great conversation starters, so you can imagine how many people would ask about a Harry Potter necklace.

Sofie discovered this when she moved from Sweden to the UK to attend university. In fact, her love of Harry Potter was the catalyst that initially inspired her to study abroad in England.

Sofie used her iconic Deathly Hallows necklace to connect with people who lived in the U.K.; regardless of cultural differences, everyone could relate to the epic tale of Harry Potter. The necklace is a constant reminder of her identity and her cultural upbringing. After enjoying her time studying in the UK and recently in the Salzburg Academy, Sofie plans to move back to Sweden and start a masters in Public Health and Epidemiology at Lund University.
