'A Jewel Made in Greece' exhibition

The exhibition “A Jewel Made in Greece” held in February 2014 at Technopolis, brought together for about a week most of the greatest modern Greek jewelry artists. The idea and the implementation belongs to the visual designer Mary Samoli. The exhibition has been curated  by the distinguished art historian Iris Kritikou.

In the industrial cultural venue of Technopolis Gazi in Athens, 26 contemporary jewelers, along with seven Greek museums and six famous goldsmiths who pioneered the export of Greek jewelry worldwide united their powers to showcase today's art jewelry, its roots in Greek culture and promote its image overseas.

The exhibition attracted more than 3000 visitors, who all admired and got inspired by the young and more experienced art jewelers who presented their collections with passion proving that creativity and art cannot be defeated by the economic crisis.

For more info and updates on the work of those contemporary jewelers you can visit 'A Jewel Made in Greece' Facebook page here.

Below you will find photos of the exhibition and my 3 favorites designers (plus their Facebook pages), whose jewels are associated with a story or a person connected to my heart!
