Shopping

At Jokkmoks Tenn, Järnvägsgatan 19 (tel. 0971/554-20), you will find the best collection of Sami traditional handicrafts. A workshop here is carried on as a family business. The best buys are in pewter objects and Lapp jewelry. If you'd like a selection of tough and durable clothing for winter, head for Polstjärnan Atelje, Hantverkargaten 9 (tel. 0971/126-73). At Jokkmokks Stencenter, Talvatis (tel. 0971/122-35), rocks and minerals from the surrounding region are turned into beautiful jewelry and other items. Some of the offerings include mylonite, which is warm and colorful in red-black shades; unakite, in pink and green with flower patterns; quartzite, with various patterns and colors; gabbro, which is black with golden flakes of pyrite; and hornfels, in a soft brown, almost beige, color. You can tour the workshop here Monday to Friday in July from 10am to 6pm, and at other times by appointment.
