Who we are - What makes us special - What we can do for you

Who we are

We are a small design studio in Greece, catering to an exclusive worldwide clientele. Our customers choose us for the personal service we offer, our passion, and the value we offer. 

Our inspiration

We use our personal taste, friends, and customers for inspiration, and often create items with them in mind. You have many designs to choose from and we try to accommodate personal requests (after all you know what suits you best), but because of the time consumed on each piece (1 - 3 days) and the large demand, there may be a long wait.  But feel free to get in touch with us and we will let you know what we can do.

One of a kind designs

There are no mass-produced items in our shop. Nowadays it is a rare treat to own something unique! If something you liked has been sold, e-mail us and we can make for you something similar, depending on available materials -- and inspiration! 

Here is our personal touch to traditional komboloi.
We have tried to give it a unique character using various symbolic forms.

Technique

Our carved designs are hand-made in our studio using traditional methods.  Each design is unique and takes many hours of work to make depending on the complexity of the design and the hardness of the materials.

Unique materials

For the enthusiast the komboloi is a faithful friend, a "soul mate", a confessor, an amulet made of precious materials carrying positive energy.  The beads we use are made of natural materials, such as fruit pits, bone, horn, teeth, wood, coral root, semi-precious stones, and best of all, amber.  Each material has its own health-enhancing energy, but also its own sensitivity, so choose them carefully.

We are not a factory, we buy in small quantities, and try to find unique materials which we import from around the world. We use all kinds of beads, gems, silver, and cord.

Price and quality

Since no middlemen are involved, we are able to keep prices very low. If you shop around, you will notice that our prices are among the best on the net. There is no trick to our low prices, we stand behind our claims 100%, and we never misrepresent materials.

Note: Gemstones and organic gems are nature's creations. It is normal to find slight variations in texture, size and color in the materials. These are not defects! They are just what makes each piece unique, and proves that they are handcrafted.  We do our best to present items accurately, however monitors may slightly alter colors.
