    “We have these unique places in Greece, islands in the middle of nowhere. When you are there on a summer night, there are no lights around. You are on a beach with the sky and millions of little stars. Watching that I thought how can I make that into a piece of jewelry? I tried to find the smallest diamonds that exist in the market and I made my first diamond pave work.” – Ileana Makri



    ILEANA MAKRI

    On a summer night in the Greek islands, the skies are filled with millions of tiny stars. That sparkling display inspired Ileana Makri to design jewelry covered with the brilliance of tiny micropave diamonds. At home in Paris and New York as well as her native Athens, Ileana is a global nomad. Her sleek modern designs are often layered with meaning from the symbols and icons of many cultures, including evil eyes and snakes. A fashion favorite, her jewelry has graced the runway shows of London designer Marios Schwab and The Row by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. 

    This cuff beautifully uses negative space, defining a volume with fine lines of diamonds. What you can’t understand until you touch Ileana’s pieces is how beautifully made they are, with the kind of pave that you can drape with chiffon without a single snag.
