The Jewellery Atelier
A private afternoon with a contemporary Greek jewellery designer — and a piece made to your hand.
Inside a studio rarely opened to visitors, a designer who shows at Paris and Milan walks you through her process. Gold, silver, ancient Greek motifs reinterpreted. A small piece is made for you.

A private session in the studio of one of Athens's finest contemporary jewellery designers — coffee, conversation, and the chance to commission a piece or simply understand how Greek goldsmithing has continued, unbroken, since antiquity.
Collectors, anniversary travellers, anyone for whom a single beautiful object is the right kind of memory.
How each of the five senses is engaged through the course of the experience.
- Sight
- Hammered gold under task lighting; raw stones laid out on velvet.
- Sound
- The fine tap of a jeweller's hammer; the hush of a focused room.
- Scent
- Solder, polishing wax, a vase of fresh tuberose.
- Taste
- Greek coffee and a square of pasteli (sesame and honey).
- Touch
- The cool weight of a finished piece settling onto your wrist.
