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!

A very important gemstone, Tanzanite, has been the choice of more and more women in recent years. Design and creation of a ring for a friend of our client, in 18 carat rose gold, with a large 4.33 ct first quality tanzanite, framed with small diamonds.

Emerald is the most delicate of the precious stones and needs great care during its processing and when placing it in the jewellery. Our own 1.82 ct teardrop shaped emerald was entrusted by a friend of our client to be turned into a beautiful handcrafted pendant worked with the ancient technique of granulation and gifted to her daughter.
