Oui

Nikos Koulis always says Oui

//




The renewed Oui collection signed by the famous Greek designer Nikos Koulis ♦ ︎

Saying yes is simple, but to say Oui one must be French, or be Nikos Koulis. It is called Oui, in fact, one of the most famous collections of the award-winning Greek designer. Proposed with numerous variations over the years, now the Oui collection is once again revitalized with a care of art déco, capable of making its geometries even more electrifying.

The jewels of the Oui collection are a special mix of diamonds of different sizes, which make up hypnotic patterns, black enamel and, sometimes, the brilliant addition of emeralds or rubies.

Several Hollywood stars have celebrated Nikos Koulis’ jewels but, lately, earrings and necklace from the new Oui collection have been worn by Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez. Although we must add that these jewels do not need to have ambassadors to bring out their beauty and, above all, the unique style of their creator. It is a refined but not rarefied design, which is very popular in the West. But not only.

Nikos Koulis still says Oui

Evolve with freshness: the creativity of Nikos Koulis is confirmed with the new version of Oui collection, winner of the Couture Design Award 2015 for the bridal category (https://gioiellis.com/i-14-vincitori-degli-oscar-del-gioiello/ ). The line is featured again at Baselworld 2016 with new colors and combinations. The original starck contrast between black enamel, the purity of colorless diamonds and intensity of emeralds becomes softer with unusual combinations: gray soft, not too light nor too dark, enamel framing a row of diamonds around a bright blue Paraiba tourmaline or a vivid pink sapphire. And it is this unusual combination that manages to make the characteristic design of Oui collection, a mix of angles and curves, something usual and different at the same time. Also in the necklace with a row of emerald cut diamonds set in gray enamel with a large tourmaline drop, sticking out as if by chance, but positioned in perfect balance.

Very Deco is the collection Yesterday, with black white and green color scheme and architectural forms almost as in earrings with elements that look like stylized towers stretched. Something completely new for the greek designer is Eden: the shapes are always distinctly geometric but all want to give the idea of ​​a floral theme and the stones are multicolored. Among sapphires of different grades, tourmalines and rubellites, shows up out an apatite, so rare gemstone, hard to find in a quality suitable for jewelry. Mines are mainly in Brazil, Madagascar and Mexico, where it was found in a a blue gradation that look like the Paraiba tourmaline, a shade similar to the one used by Koulis. M.B.

Nikos Koulis, Oui

Nikos Koulis is a greek designer based in Athens that Jck to Las Vegas in 2015 won the Couture Design Award in the Category bridal for her first collection, called Oui. This alone would suggest you take a look at his production. In fact, Nikos Koulis has long been in the spotlight of operators all over the world, because it offers quality jewelry at the same time original. Oui, for example, the bridal collection that won the award we have mentioned, consists of rings, pendants and earrings with diamonds and emeralds in different cuts, but in a setting of enamel, which is a kind of signature of the designer. Also interesting is the Spectrum line, inspired by the journey of light through a prism. In this case the characteristic feature is given by the color of the stones used. In V Collection, however, it has revisited the triangular shape, combined through colored diamonds and stones, a geometric puzzle that makes up the jewelry. Only negative note: at the time the brand has a website largely insufficient… Margherita Donato
