The Death of Sappho earrings, present on top side some detail of the impressive oil painting by Miguel Carbonell Selva. The earrings are completely handmade without any industrial process, the details we choose from the painting are the most emblematic. These lightweight earrings represent a story of Greek mythological sapphic art. "Sappho was a prolific poet, Sappho's poetry is still considered extraordinary and her works continue to influence other writers. Beyond her poetry, she is well known as a symbol of love and desire between women, with the English words sapphic and lesbian being derived from her own name and the name of her home island respectively". The back side of the earrings are hand paint with black colour. they are not afraid of humidity or a few drops of rain, but being made of wood it is advisable not to wear them when taking a shower or bath in the sea or in the pool. Furthermore, to preserve the brilliance of the hook, we recommend storing them in a container after use.

The Papyrus Fresco comes from the Room of the Ladies from the house of the same name. The papyrus flowers are shown in groups of three and cover three walls. The Bronze Age frescoes from Akrotiri on the Greek island of Thera (modern-day Santorini) provide some of the most famous images from the ancient Greek world sometime between 1650 and 1550 BCE. The papyrus is a sacred symbol in the Theran society as it was offered to the Gods for different purposes such as jewelry made out of a papyrus plant. About Papyrus: Papyrus is a flowering plant (cyperus papyrus) that grows in water and was used to make the world's first type of paper. Papyrus once grew in abundance, primarily in the wilds of the Egyptian Delta but also elsewhere in the Nile River Valley, but is now quite rare. Paper made from papyrus was the main writing material developed in ancient Egypt and spread to Greece and elsewhere in the ancient world. Papyrus was known to the Greek world since the 8th century BC. Before papyrus became common, many cultures wrote on clay tablets. Papyrus is the Greek name for the plant and may come from the Egyptian word papuro (also given as pa-per-aa) meaning 'the royal' or 'that of the pharaoh’. The plant has been seen in frescos as well as etched in stone in temples and monuments, symbolizing life and eternity. Thank you for visiting my shop!

Komboloi or Greek worry beads are an instrument of relaxation and stress management. Like most Greek folk art, the history of komboloi is confused. Some claim that they are a 20th century addition to mainland Greek culture, arriving only seventy or eighty years ago and quickly achieving fashionable status among all classes. It is believed that they have a more ancient history though and are a mimicry of Turkish prayer bead strands, adopted by persecuted Greeks to mock their captors in the 11th - 13th centuries AD. Still another theory suggests that the Turkish conquerors forbade their Greek subjects to shake hands, and the beads were introduced as a way of reminding Greeks to not shake hands. Others assert that they are derived from the knotted prayer strands (komboskini) used by Greek Orthodox monks. As the word komboloi means 'group of knots', this may be the true origin. Until recently, komboloi were the only used by men, and were rarely seen in the hands of women. But now, as they go beyond cultural tradition they have become a fashion accessory, with both men and women carrying them. Beautifully crafted strands are appearing in fine jewelry stores, and older strands are becoming prized collector items. Traditionally, worry beads have a multiple of 4 plus 1 beads, so 17, 21 or 25 beads, with one larger 'shield' bead and are usually, but not always, adorned with a tassel. They can be strung on leather, string, or fine metal chain. Although they can be made of any type of bead, organic beads like amber or coral thought to be more pleasant to handle than non-organic materials such as glass, metal or minerals. Please understand that worry beads do not have any intrinsic religious significance. Whatever their original purpose was, today they are simply a fidget toy of Greek origin, so pull them out when you are waiting in line, travelling on an airplane, anxious about something, or stressed out & need to relax. Fiddle away the stress, anxiety and boredom. Doesn't that feel better?

Ceramic Flower Pendant Fabric Cord Mathe jewellery focuses on creating the perfect jewellery for your everyday wardrobe. Founder and designer Mathe Fotini , takes inspiration from the everyday woman and tries to translate each seasons trends into the new collection. The Greek summer is also a huge inspiration for me. “I remember myself when I was kid running around Cretes’ beaches wearing a bathing suit all day long with a slice of watermelon in my hand. To me that is the definition of happiness and that is the feeling I am trying to pass along when you buy a piece of jewellery from us. I started making jewellery at a young age and at some point I started selling my products directly through Instagram. The sudden success was like a dream come true. I finally left my everyday job to start my own business. All of our products are made by hand and made to order here in Greece by me and my sister . You will never receive an item that has not passed through our hands! What I love most about jewellery is how they can transform a whole outfit without even trying. You will never see me not wearing jewellery!
