 I have had many requests in recent months to reproduce my own silver, hand-hammered, antique Bedouin camel chain...I had gotten 50 meters made in the 80's after many customers had seen me wearing it at trade shows and it sold very well in my retail shops. read more -- > |

Old and Antique Silver Jewelry and Belts, Savati Silver |
| Since 1975, we have always been on the lookout for lovely old pieces in jewelry and kelims and other accessory items when shopping in the bazaars of Monastiraki and Kapalicarsi (Ahtens and Instanbul). A large box of these wonders was "lost" in storage after 2 of our retail shops closed, and only recently was rediscovered... some really rare pieces in Savati technique from Turkey and Georgia, a variety of silver chain belts with unusual buckles, and an array of reproduction and old Savati Silver earrings, etc.
Savati (also Savat in Turkey and Nielo in France) is a toxic old method of etching detailed designs with lead into silver with acid. A difficult technique, it is still now done - but safely - in Tiblisi and Istanbul. |

Worry BeadsGreek Worry Beads (Komboloi) originated thousands of years ago in the prayer beads of many cultures and traditions... Hindu and Buddhist (Mala), Christian (Rosary), and Muslim (Tasbih or Masbaha). Today they are used for their comforting effect....helping smokers to quit, the anxious to breathe more deeply, the very pregnant to be patient...and as a remembrance to all of the Greek people and their culture. |
Greek JewelryWe have a wide range of ceramic, metal and leather jewelry, all manufactured in Greece, available now on the site. Many items are at GREAT closeout prices (having been purchased before all of the recent steep increases in labor and materials prices) and the finished price is less than the current cost of the component parts. We know many of our jewelry designer customers make mostly their own designs with our beading products; but many of you also need some "extra" fill-in goods for volume events or seasonal specials. Check out all of our great bargains in Bracelets, Necklaces, Earrings, Anklets, and Jewelry Sets. |

VotivesWe also offer stamped tin, silver-plated votive plaques called "Tamata." These wonderful symbols convey wishes for many purposes: the new house, the healthy baby, the new love (the heart symbol is a wonderful Valentine at any time of the year!!!), the successful operation, the watchful eye. Tamata are similar to Milagros in the Latin tradition. They are also used as holiday tree decorations. |

He was a student of Modigliani and his work is exhibited in many museums throughout Greece and the United States.Many of our jewelry designer customers have used these statues for unique jewelry displays!

Greek PhotographyOur favorite photographer of Greece, Pierre Couteau, has just published a wonderful volume from his many years of making postcards of Mykonos and Delos. Our retail stores in the states sold many thousands of these cards through many years, and these images have become most familiar, and very cherished.
