From the architects of ancient Greece to jewels stores of today: the collection by Ioanna Souflia.
Have you ever visited the Acropolis of Athens? Or, at least, some greek classical age temple? You dwelt on the decorative elements of the friezes, between one column and the other? Often it consist of a shape that in Italian is defined as palmettos, ie leaves of small palm. If, maybe, you don’t ever noticed it, here they are transformed into rings or earrings. And always with the same material of the greek temples, the marble. To make these jewels with classical motifs, is been Ioanna Souflia, Greek designer who works among London and Paris. In truth she had taken the first steps to become a lawyer. But as she studied Law in Athens, Ioanna also began his studies at Central Saint Martins in London. The result are these jewels in gold, diamonds and marble, or a gray stone from Sardinia. The stones are sculpted by her. The marble is hand carved and juxtaposed to the precious materials. The contrast is striking. They can please even those who are not interested in classical architecture. Rudy Serra
