Best Of Reykjavík 2026: Best Jewellery Store

In this year’s Best of Shopping, a lot of us had the recent uptick in quickly made and cheaper products on our minds — not to mention that it seems like barely anyone has the dough to afford their entire wishlist.

Nevertheless, we have the chance here to celebrate those who operate their shops with intentionality; we cheer on institutions that don’t drop everything for momentary trends, that champion designers and makers in Iceland, that put care into the items they ask you to spend your money on. Whether you’re looking for a statement piece, a gift, or a souvenir, you can find what we’ve chosen as the best of the best.

Best Jewellery Store

Orrifinn Jewels

Skólavörðustígur 43

When our panel began discussing Best Jewellery Store, one panellist said she had just bought her wedding ring at Orrifinn Jewels. Not too shabby of an endorsement, right? Orrifinn takes home the prize for their unique, well-crafted, unisex jewellery that brings strong themes into intricate pieces. And, in their flagship, you can design a unique ring with Orri himself.

Runner Up:
