Key Points
  • Job Morales is the only silversmith in Hallingdal.
  • He runs Fjellsølv and moved from Mexico to Norway for love.
  • He creates new life from old silver and heirlooms.

According to NRK Buskerud, Morales creates new life from bunad silver, inherited heirlooms, and old silverware. He once made a heart from the wedding rings of a confirmand's divorced parents. The confirmand cried when receiving the gift.

Morales described how a piece of jewelry is not just an object but a personal story. He also emphasized the importance of passing on traditions as a craftsman. The exact number of silversmiths still working in Norway is unknown, as is the number of bunad orders Morales currently has.
