HANDCRAFTED
Creating jewelry by hand is a true craftsmanship and artwork. Each and every one of the pieces I offer you has been shaped by my own hands. Every piece is unique in some way ! The craftmanship of the products minimizes the use of prefabricated and excludes any automatic technological intervention to makethecreations real sculptures to be worn.
Made by hand in all stages of the creation, from the wax sculpting to the metal finishing, the sterling silver
SUSTAINABILITY
Making jewelry by hand and on site allows us to have full control over the entire production process, offering 100% original and verified products. An antidote to the fast fashion , we stock thoughtfully crafted , timeless but affordable slow fashion pieces in limited quantities.
Our vision is to create a nonseasonal and timeless jewelry with focus on craftmanship and recycled materials.Our jewelry is, approximately, 90% made of recycled silver 925 . This silver can come from pre-owned jewelry or from our own old collections that we decide to melt down and reshape into new designs.
Our packaging is, also, made from recycled paper.
The designer Sophia Kalatzi
She is inspired by everyday life, art and by the diverse textures found in nature. The beauty of imperfection, simplicity and natural shapes is the core of her collections.
Sophia embraces serendipity and chance, that’s why she rarely sketches and instead works with the ancient technique of “lost wax casting” . A process where each piece is carved by hand in wax, before being cast in precious metals. A technique which embraces organic hand imperfections.
Her design process resembles that of a sculptress; whose work is wearable, unique and timeless . Like a piece of art you can wear on your body.
All her designs are carefully handcrafted in her workshop in Greece using sterling silver and freshwater pearls .
SOPHY comes from a strong personal dream of creating.
Jewelry have always meant a lot to me since i believe they have such high personal value compared to other garments, it is the smallest but often the most important detail that complete your look.
The nature, the sea, the clean lines of the sand, rocks and the rawness is deeply inspiring to me. It is very important to me that there is a feeling behind everything I craft.
