A sense of summer ..
Summer…lazy days, turquoise skies, a sense of freedom so good it can’t be legal…and all this captured in a ring…
It’s the work of Ileana Makri, a native Greek who brings the lilt of a folk song and the suggestion of a mythical tale to her work..but who’s also not afraid to explore the modern symbols of life.
There’s a wit and clarity to her work. You want to wear it for a smokey night on the tiles..or with bare feet and sunkissed hair..
I’ll take the sunkissed hair option every time..

When I saw the first picture, I thought the design looked very Greek, hehe! They seem filled with the blue of the sea and the sense of walking in narrow streets and tilled paths on islands.
She has a little place on the island of Patmos..explains a lot! xxx
So you found her! I have to stop in front of her shop window in Athens, every time I pass by. Never been inside though… may be it’s time! xxx
It certainly has! And when you do..I want a report! xxx
I wanted the eye piece to be a big chunky necklace, Egyptian inspired. I’d snap that up. Love the novelty of the safety pin too xo
I’ve seen safety pin earrings before..love love love the bracelet..
That first ring is amazing.
And not in the ridiculous price bracket which is always comforting! xxx
Love the ‘good luck’ bracelet!
Simple elegant, easy style… xxx
