About Me
Always a lover of arts and communication, I studied Journalism in Athens, Greece and then continued my studies in Sweden. Living in another country for a while proved to be the springboard for a very important mind change towards almost all aspects of my life.
Coming back to Greece at the very beginning of the recession actually completed this mind transformation. Everything that was “in the plan” was being destroyed one after the other.
I was sad to realize how I had forgotten all the valuable things in life.
Silversmithing was meant to be the light that still guides me through the tunnel. Being able to be a part of the Etsy community helped me regain my self-confidence, bring up one of my real passions, connect with exciting, like-minded souls and most importantly share.
My jewelry is all about that. Sharing what’s in the heart. It’s all about love but also about the blood, the sweat, the tears (sometimes even literally) of both the sender and the recipient. I strongly believe that a certain darkness is needed to see the stars. I like to see my jewellery as the stars. Sometimes rock and chic, sometimes with references to history and the Great Hellenic Culture, and almost always embedded with a dark romanticism-a glimpse into my soul.
**On the making Process**
I mostly work with sterling silver sheet and raw natural stones. I get enchanted by odd shaped rough gems, their unique colours,random shapes and one of a kind nature.Pretty often, I don't work on designs. I like to leave my imagination guide me. Each gem carries energy. Each gem tells a story. Each piece is often created to match with one and only, unique recipient.
All my pieces are made from scratch by me in my studio in Athens, Greece. I use traditional silversmithing techniques and tools and I work with patina a lot. I love the tarnishing effect it brings out. Working to create an antiqued look or a vintage inspired style on a brand new piece of jewellery is a challenge for me.
I’m deeply connected with every piece I make. I like to think that people who choose to wear my pieces also connect with the energy they carry, right from the start.
That way they also connect with me somehow.
So different people, from distant countries and different backgrounds and yet so the same.
