Jewellery can be decorative, but it can also carry a story. Estonian designer Tanel Veenre creates expressive pieces shaped by nature, symbolism and a distinctly dreamlike imagination.
The Tanel Veenre jewellery available at Daily Nomad brings together three different worlds: the graceful dragonflies of Libellula, the mythical seahorses of Mini Hippocamp and the colourful wooden fruits of Earberries.
This guide introduces each collection and helps you choose the motif, jewellery type and finish that feels most personal to you.

Who is Tanel Veenre?
Tanel Veenre is an Estonian jewellery artist and designer based in Tallinn. His work is recognised for sculptural forms, imaginative symbolism and a visual language that moves between nature, mythology and fantasy.
Rather than treating jewellery as a purely decorative accessory, his designs often feel like miniature characters or talismans. Dragonflies, seahorses and richly coloured fruits become wearable objects with their own personalities.
The pieces selected by Daily Nomad are handcrafted in Estonia and reflect the same qualities we value throughout our assortment: distinctive European design, thoughtful craftsmanship and objects intended to be appreciated beyond a single season.
The three Tanel Veenre collections at Daily Nomad
Libellula: sculptural dragonfly jewellery
The Libellula collection reimagines the dragonfly as a graceful, sculptural form. Its extended wings create an expressive silhouette while the refined scale makes the pieces easy to incorporate into everyday styling.
Dragonflies are often associated with movement, transformation and lightness. This makes Libellula particularly suitable for someone looking for jewellery with a symbolic quality, or for a meaningful gift marking a new chapter.
Daily Nomad carries both Libellula necklaces and earrings in four finishes:
- Silver
- Rhodium-plated silver
- Gold-plated silver
- Rose gold–plated silver
The necklaces offer a subtle way to wear the dragonfly motif, while the earrings create a more visible sculptural statement.
Choose Libellula if you prefer: elegant nature-inspired forms, symbolic jewellery or a design that balances delicacy with visual impact.

Mini Hippocamp: dreamlike seahorse jewellery
The Mini Hippocamp designs draw inspiration from the seahorse. Their curling form gives the pieces a delicate, almost mythical character—part sea creature and part imagined symbol.
These designs are smaller and quieter than the winged Libellula pieces, making them well suited to anyone who wants unusual jewellery without an overly bold scale.
Daily Nomad carries Mini Hippocamp necklaces and earrings in silver and rose gold–plated silver. The silver finish feels cool and understated, while rose gold introduces a warmer tone. Both preserve the recognisable seahorse silhouette.
Choose Mini Hippocamp if you prefer: maritime symbolism, smaller sculptural details or jewellery with a gentle and dreamlike character.

Earberries: playful colour and carved wood
Earberries presents a more playful side of Tanel Veenre’s work. These featherlight pendants transform familiar fruits into colourful, slightly surreal pieces of wearable design.
The pendants combine carved wood with 925 sterling silver details and a shimmering cosmic-dust finish. Wood keeps the fruit forms light, while the colour gives each design its own personality.
The Daily Nomad selection includes Mini Cherry, Mini Blackcurrant, Mini Gooseberry and Mini Plum. Cherry provides the brightest pop of colour. Plum has a rich purple character, Blackcurrant offers a darker appearance, and Gooseberry combines cooler blue and dark tones.
Choose Earberries if you prefer: colour, lightweight statement jewellery, unconventional materials or accessories with a playful personality.

Which Tanel Veenre design should you choose?
For elegant and symbolic jewellery
Choose Libellula. Its dragonfly form feels graceful and meaningful while remaining unmistakably sculptural.
For something delicate and unusual
Choose Mini Hippocamp. The seahorse motif is distinctive, but its smaller scale makes it easy to wear.
For colour and personality
Choose Earberries. These pendants are the most playful designs in the collection and work especially well when you want jewellery to become the focal point of an outfit.
For an understated finish
Silver offers a clean and versatile appearance. Rhodium-plated silver provides a darker interpretation within the Libellula family.
For a warmer finish
Gold-plated and rose gold–plated silver introduce warmth. Rose gold has a softer quality, while the gold-plated finish creates a stronger contrast with the sculptural dragonfly form.
Necklace or earrings?
A necklace is usually the most versatile introduction to Tanel Veenre’s work. It can be worn alone as a focal detail or combined with simple jewellery already in your wardrobe.
Earrings place the sculptural form closer to the face and generally create a stronger visual effect. They are a good choice for someone who already wears expressive jewellery or wants a more noticeable design.
Matching within the same family can create a coordinated look, but the pieces do not need to be worn as a set. A Libellula necklace or pair of earrings is distinctive enough to stand on its own.
Choosing Tanel Veenre jewellery as a gift
When choosing a piece for someone else, begin with their existing jewellery rather than selecting by trend.
- Look at the metals they already wear: silver, darker finishes, yellow gold or rose gold.
- Consider how expressive their jewellery normally is: Mini Hippocamp is comparatively subtle, while Libellula and Earberries make a stronger statement.
- Choose a meaningful motif: dragonflies, seahorses and fruits each communicate a different personality.
- Think about colour: Earberries are ideal for someone whose wardrobe already includes playful or artistic accents.
The best choice is not necessarily the most dramatic piece. It is the one that reflects how the recipient already expresses themselves.
How to care for your jewellery
Thoughtful care helps preserve both sterling silver and plated finishes.
- Keep jewellery away from perfume, cosmetics and household chemicals.
- Remove it before showering, swimming, exercising or sleeping.
- Wipe metal surfaces gently with a clean, soft and dry cloth after wearing.
- Store pieces separately in a dry place to reduce scratching and contact with other jewellery.
- Do not use abrasive silver cleaners on plated surfaces or cosmic-dust finishes.
- Protect wooden Earberries pendants from water and prolonged moisture.
Always follow any product-specific care information supplied with your chosen piece.
