Greek 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 (Tespih 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.

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 (Athens and Istanbul). a few 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.
Our old pieces in Copper or Brass range from 40 to 100 years old. Most are from Northern Greece, some from Turkey, and one from Egypt. Note all are decorative only, unless lined in tin for cooking or containing food.
WE STILL OFFER A WIDE RANGE OF CERAMIC, LEATHER AND METAL JEWELRY MADE IN GREECE. ALL OF THESE BRACELETS, NECKLACES, EARRINGS, ANKLETS AND SETS ARE NOW AT GREAT CLOSEOUT PRICES. YES, YOU CAN SEE IN ANY CASES OUR RETAIL PRICE IS WELL BELOW THE CURRENT COST OF THE COMPONENT PARTS.
We sold out our entire collection of antique “Tamata” and were fortunate to find a company making lovely silver-like votive plaques called "Tamata." This tradition has continued for many years: The “wish of the day” is placed with family icons; then a candle is lit; incense is burned and the good works for the day are dedicated to the wish on the little votive plaque. 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, as they glow beautifully in the light of a tree. For example, we sell the Wedding Stephana (wreaths) to folks who use them as mementos.
Our cards are photographic reproductions of the wonderful wool collage art pieces of Danish/Mykonian artist Lilly Kristensen.
