Universe, the new amazing collection by Nikos Koulis ♦ ︎
At Las Vegas Couture, he was been rewarded for two years in a row. In 2017, however, the jury considered that it was also the case to reward other designers. Yet Nikos Koulis is one of those who has amazed (a rare thing) enthusiasts and buyers at the Las Vegas Fair. Its new Universe collection, available since September, has really left many visitors with open mouth. For two reasons: along with a simple, refined, highly geometric style with art deco echoes, the Greek designer combined an uncommon technique. With a particular on all: the use of a translucent enamel, which appears opaque white, or transparent, depending on the angle you look at the jewel.
The earrings are perfect white gold rims, with a thin diamond rim. At the center, there is an element, always in diamonds, which can be used separately. In essence, it’s like having two pairs of earrings in one: you can wear a maxi version, or just the core. The same technique with translucent enamel has been used for other earrings or ring. Nikos Koulis did not win the official prize but was rewarded with so many applause. Giulia Netrese
