His innovative approach that centred on simplicity and form, put Finland at the forefront of jewellery design during the mid-century period. Kauppi's work has been exhibited internationally, including Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and the Pforzheim Jewellery Museum in Germany.

This pendant is stamped with the Finnish hallmarks: anvil motif (maker), crown motif (Finland) & 585 (material).
