Greek/Classical Jewelry - anyone a fan? Share pics!

[kohl_mascara]

I came across the brand Zolotas while at a jewelry store and saw some gorgeous estate pieces. I studied Classics in undergrad and am incredibly infatuated with the designs. A lot of the designs pertain to classical art and mythology. I believe the brand's famous pieces have rams heads, snakes and lions. I was hoping people were fans as well, and perhaps some had pieces and were willing to share pics!

Here is the website: http://www.zolotas.gr/main_en.html

I also found a few pics online from modern to estate/vintage. Some of these pieces I expect to find in a museum!

I also discovered another brand while researching Zolotas, Ilias Lalaounis. Amazing pieces as well. These are museum quality (in fact, many pieces are in museum collections) and are just breathtaking.

All these jewllery look STUNNING!!!!


I believe that the Lalaounis pieces are inspired by the Byzantine era rather than Ancient Greece (more round shapes, stones - not just pure gold- etc).

The Zolotas pieces are more ancient-greek looking.
