Ileana Makri's jewelry gracefully combines the beauty and rich culture of her native Greece with a fresh, stylish sensibility. Her distinctive gold and gemstone collection is known for its feminine appeal, symbolic meaning and refined, old world craftmanship.
The designer is known for her signature "micro-pave" featuring a delicate mosaic of precious gems including diamonds, sapphires, rubies and tsavorites set in pink, yellow, white or gunmetal gray gold. "It's inspired by the millions of sparkling stars in the sky and the light of the sun shinning on the Aegean Sea," says Makri, who relishes in the beauty of Greece. "I see jewelry as micro-sculpture that is part of a woman's daily style, not something for special occasions."
