Creator of numerous jewels, prizes and works for secular and religious authorities , personalities from the world of cinema and music ; as well as the Mia Martini Critics Award and the Lucio Dalla Press Room Award created specifically for Sanremo .

Typical Greek jewels take shape from the skilled hands of Calabrian master goldsmiths , custodians of a centuries-old tradition. The naturalness of the hand-crafted shapes give the jewel a unique and exclusive touch which is a statement of absolute originality. The jewels are inspired by and conform to the traditions and culture of ancient Greece .

The repeated presence of masks constitutes one of the foundations of that culture. The masks had an " apotropaic " function, a Greek term meaning "to drive away"; they stood on the doorstep of the homes of the ancient Greeks with the function of keeping evil spirits away.

In our online catalog you can find rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings, typical Calabrian jewels with the characteristic apotropaic Greek masks, or rings and earrings with the Stater coin. Stater is the name of several types of ancient coins. The coin was minted by various Greek cities in different monetary standards, in silver, gold and electrum. The silver stater was the most widespread coin in ancient Greece.
