Aurum sells Icelandic jewelry and design in Terminal 1
This Aurum shop sits airside in KEF Terminal 1, right in the main departures shopping loop after security. It’s a small boutique focused on Icelandic-designed jewelry: silver rings, earrings, necklaces and some nature-themed pieces inspired by local landscapes. Prices run higher than souvenir stands; expect simple silver earrings to start around 8,000–10,000 ISK and statement pieces to climb well past 20,000 ISK.
You’ll see clear branding by Aurum by Guðbjörg, the Reykjavik-based designer, and many of the same collections you’d find on Laugavegur downtown. The shop also carries some smaller accessories and giftable items, but the core is jewelry, not general souvenirs. This is post‑security, so you’re fine to shop here even on a tight Schengen or non‑Schengen departure from Terminal 1.
Quality skews to sterling silver and gold‑plated silver, with Icelandic motifs like waves, feathers, and lava textures. If you want something that doesn’t scream “airport gift,” this is one of the more design-forward options in KEF. Expect staff to quote sizes in standard EU ring sizes and to package items in branded boxes that fit easily in a personal item or 8 kg cabin bag.
Plan at least 10–15 minutes here if you’re comparing collections; some pieces are displayed by line rather than price, so you’ll be asking for tags. Last tip: check your card statement currency choice at the register and decline dynamic currency conversion if they offer to charge you in anything other than ISK.
