Design and construction of a commemorative souvenir for the Municipality of Thessaloniki
With great pleasure we undertook to design and manufacture the commemorative souvenir of the municipality of Thessaloniki. The result depicts in an abstract way characteristic monuments of the five chronological periods of Thessaloniki's history: Archaic, Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman and modern. The Arch of Galerius, the Rotunda, St. Demetrius, the White Tower, the Tower of the OTE. The impression and composition was made by Theo Papaioannou, architect-graphic artist.

Construction of a plaque for the heroes of COVID-19
It was our great pleasure and honor to undertake the design and manufacture of the plaque that was awarded at the award event "The heroes of COVID-19 in northern Greece". The event was organized by the journalistic complex "Macedonia" and the PR BIZZ communication company and took place on September 10, at the hall of HELEXPO Emilios Riadis. It was an extremely moving initiative, in the context of which the people who contributed with sacrifice and heroism to the protection of human life, as well as the companies that actively supported the state's efforts to fight and respond to the pandemic, were honoured.

Pearls: Useful tips for their proper maintenance and care
Pearls: Useful tips for their proper maintenance and care
A timeless symbol of elegance and beauty, pearls are certainly one of the most beloved pieces of jewellery for women. Many times our clients turn to us to repair a piece of pearl jewellery that has either been struck or has lost its original luster. But what should you do to keep your pearls in good condition? Pearls need the necessary care to be properly preserved. True pearls are formed from the organic matter secreted by oysters and to remain "alive" they need moisture which they absorb from the atmosphere or from the body that wears them. We have compiled below some tips for their proper protection and maintenance: Always wear them after your personal care, make-up, perfume, so that they are not affected by the chemicals that may be contained in the products you use. Do not wear them while doing any household work, as cleaning products may damage them. Do not wear them while cooking, as some ingredients, for example vinegar, lemon juice and baking soda, may damage your jewellery. Wipe them frequently with a soft dry cloth that has not been used elsewhere. Pearls are one of the softest materials in jewellery making. They are, therefore, very likely to be scratched if they come into contact with other jewellery materials. For this reason, it is recommended that they be placed in soft cloth cases, separate from other jewellery. You should also be particularly careful not to drop your jewellery on a hard surface. You should check their binding and clasp frequently, and every two years, or even every year if you wear them frequently, you should take them to professional jewellers to have them cleaned and the special silk thread with which they are bound changed. Changing the thread also removes any accumulated dust that can damage your pearls. Discover our collections of pearl jewellery: Maritima(link) Utopia(link)

We stayed home and now we are back and waiting for you!
We are very pleased to announce that our stores open on Monday 11 May! We have taken the necessary precautions and will observe the prescribed safety and hygiene rules. We have missed you and will be happy to see you in person! The 2019 coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) took us all by surprise, and during the mandatory quarantine, we had to adopt new ways of communicating, working and acquiring a new routine to adapt to the new situation. Our stores were closed and we were close to you through social media, but also through our e-shop, keeping in this way our contact with you, while at the same time we could contribute to your beautiful moments by sending our jewellery and gifts all over Greece, always observing the necessary precautions. We may have all found ways to cope with this unprecedented situation, but we were missing many elements of our daily lives that we took for granted. So it is a great pleasure for us to be able to welcome you back to our stores, to meet with our acquaintances and to welcome our new friends. We keep the required distances and take the necessary measures, but we come closer to you again!
