"I have always believed that fashion is an expression of a person's soul; not just their personality. Aligned with this belief is the understanding that accessories play an especially integral role in people showing who they truly are. My jewelry reflects the many facets of my psyche, personality and soul. My hope is that you will take the time to truly study and appreciate the unique nature of these very personal creations and find some nuance that appeals to you.

About the Designer

I was born in Greece and have always been fascinated with arts and crafts. As a small girl and a self-taught artist I was spending a lot of time drawing, painting and experimenting with different media. Through my teenage years, I had the opportunity to learn different crafting skills using clay, polymer clay, papier mache, metal sheets, and other materials. As an adult, I moved to the US to study Mathematics and Business. After the completion of my Master's degree, I had the chance to work in a glass studio- Solid Sand Studio -where I learned the amazing art of stained glass. Working with glass inspired me to use those same materials and techniques to create wearable art. I started experimenting with non-lead soldering using glass gems and incorporating beads and original handmade polymer clay beads into my designs to create inspirational, unique artistic jewelry. My latest creations are made with Precious Metal Clay (PMC) and fused glass.In my work I incorporate handmade fine silver components, unique fused glass focal pieces, glass beads and elegant pearls.
