OH MY PEBBLE!” COLLECTION

Since 2016,the collection of jewelry with pebbles from the greek beaches has its own brand name.

The diversity of colours and shapes that one can find in a beach is remarkable. Pebbles become the basic material for the creation of jewelry that showcase their aesthetic qualities. Silver captures nature’s simplicity and perfection, the way the waves have carved them. Each piece of jewelry is created organically, giving the sence of a small plant, a flower or a fruit hanging from a tree. The simplicity of nature meets silver and the luxury of semi precious stones.

Every piece of the collection is unique following each pebble’s unique character.
