Konstantino Sioulas " Konstantino Sioulas, the master behind these delectable adornments, was born in and educated in Athens, Greece. He has been designing modern expressions of ancient Greek artifacts for 20 years. Konstantino has an insatiable fascination with ancient Greek history and, of course, ancient Greek jewelry. It is this fascination with these timeless treasures that fuels his dramatic collection. Meticulous attention is found in the Byzantine etchings on the back sides of each adornment. Each piece in the collection is individually crafted in Greece, artistically combining 18K gold with sterling silver, gemstones, precious stones, intaglios and ancient coins. This painstaking old world craftsmanship is what makes these creations so special and so worthy of being passed down from generation to generation. The Ancient Greeks developed the first great civilization to take permanent root on the mainland of Europe almost twenty-five hundred years ago. Athens, the cultural capital of this great civilization, was the birthplace of the finest Greek writers, thinkers, and artists. Through the centuries, their legacy has continuously influenced the works of innumerable artists. Working under the direct supervision of Konstantino Sioulas in Athens, Greece, a consortium of jewelry artisans creates timeless treasures, inspired by the powerful movements in the arts that flourished during the Ancient Greek and Byzantine periods. Konstantino's meticulous attention to detail, reflected in the etched designs, and the creative use of gemstones, result in pieces appearing to be hundreds of years old. His inquisitive nature led him to travel throughout Europe and the Far East, where he was further influenced by an array of different cultures. An artisan at heart, Konstantino combined his love of the jewelry craft and jewelry business, which proved successful in the two retail stores he owned on the Greek island of Hydra. He now divides his time between the United States and Greece, all the while developing exquisite new pieces to add to his collection. Each piece is handmade and painstakingly crafted to perfection. Centuries of tradition in jewelry, blended with new design ideas create this distinct and unique collection. Konstantino is proud to bring these exquisite treasures the finest stores." Care of Sterling Silver: Sterling Silver is a precious metal and may require cleaning from time to time. Using a small amount of silver polish on a soft cloth, rub the silver several times. This will keep your treasure looking its best. Greek Earrings by Konstantino, Greek Crosses by Konstantino, Greek Necklaces by Konstantino, Greek Bracelets, Chains, Home Page
