Our NEW Greece Collection Jewelry is made in Athens by Violeta. An excavationist-turned-jewelry-maker who co-created three pieces with us, inspired by an ancient Greek village. Intrigued? Scroll for the full story.
Say hi to Athens-based artisan and jewelry maker Violeta Fillipou. A former archeology and ancient Greek history student who now uses her studies as creative inspiration for new designs and pieces.
“I grew up in the city, with a vast amount of different architectural forms and details. So, I use that in my jewelry. Many different, interesting little details. I build my collections based on geometry.” - Violeta
“Pyrgi (the painted village) was the inspiration for me to start designing these items. I aim to create wholesome pieces with interesting little details for you to focus on. That’s the interesting part of these pieces.” - Violeta
Inspired by Pyrgi’s tiled buildings, Violeta uses the wax mold method to carve intricate geometric patterns, also known as ‘sgraffito’, into gold-plated pieces. Completely unique and co-created with us, like a piece of Greek art you can wear.
