Our Story

Some words about our history…

Welcome to our hand crafted jewelry collection, a heartfelt reflection of our family’s heritage and passion for natural beauty. Growing up in a picturesque region of Greece, nestled near the magnificent Temple of Poseidon, we have always been surrounded by a wealth of mineral treasures. This rich geological landscape has not only shaped our upbringing but also sparked the inspiration for our jewelry business, dedicated to celebrating the beauty of natural stones.

Our connection to this land runs deep, instilling in us a profound appreciation for the Earth's gifts. Each gemstone we use in our designs carries the energy of the Earth, reflecting the unique history and characteristics of its origin. This connection inspires us to create pieces that are not only beautiful but also imbued with meaning and purpose. The vibrant colors and textures of the stones we select serve as a canvas for our creativity, allowing us to craft distinctive jewelry that resonates with nature’s elegance.

My love for fashion and jewelry has always been a guiding force in my life. From an early age, I was captivated by the way jewelry can transform an outfit and express individuality. This passion has driven me to create pieces that are not only stylish but also tell a story—our story. Each item we produce is a labor of love, meticulously crafted by hand to ensure that it is truly unique.

Together with my family, I strive to design jewelry that reflects our values and our love for the Earth. We believe that every piece should carry the essence of the natural world, connecting the wearer to the beauty that surrounds us. Our commitment to quality and artistry ensures that each creation is a cherished addition to your collection.

Thank you for joining us on this journey. We hope that our handcrafted pieces inspire you and bring a touch of nature’s magic into your life.

The family business specializing in natural gemstones and handmade jewelry began with Magda's sister and brother-in-law. Their deep love and dedication to their craft inspired Magda, who has always shared a strong, unbreakable bond with her sister since childhood. This close connection allowed the passion for gemstones, their properties, and their symbolism to flow naturally between them. Over time, this shared enthusiasm grew into a love for creating unique, one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces. Today, their family business reflects not only their artistic vision but also their shared values of love, creativity, and the meaningful connection that binds them together.
