I wonder why Greece, of whom we read for years that is in crisis, it is so fertile in the jewelry world: one of his signature of excellence, for example, is Ileana Makri. Even if, for the sake of truth, we must add that more than the city of Athens, Ileana attended New York, where she moved. She’s one of those people who have had great luck and, at the same time, capacity to do what they wanted to accomplish when were children. She tell that she went to a goldsmith to make his first object of jewellery at the age of 13 years. Since then she has never stopped designing, even when opposed a “no” in front of her proposals. “I like the color scheme and experimentation,” said the Huffington Post, who presented his latest collection, Deco. Stones and gold, are composed of Ileana in a blaze of geometry, perhaps by association with the origins of the designer, often reminiscent of the classic forms of architecture of ancient Greece. She loves choose the stones, she hates those who think to jewelry as objects for special occasions instead of companions for every occasion and for every hour of the day. How to blame her?
