Established in 2003, on a sun-drenched island in Greece by Fragkiski Palaiologou, the jewellery of Fragkiski is new to the Uk market. Offering exquisitely crafted handmade jewellery & sandals, using unusual materials, gems and fabrics, “Fragkiski Jewellery” has arrived in London with a burst of rainbow colours.
Inspired by the colours of nature and the sparkle of the Greek way of life, the collection combines Swarovski crystals, semi-precious stones of vibrant colours, precious metals, with elegant silk ribbons and cords, offering unique pieces with a touch of fun and whimsy.
The collection includes: “Playful” silk cords in rainbow colours, dotted with sweet miniature charms of secret keys, metallic hearts and bright-coloured stars.
Its signature range of silk covered, “juicy” red cherries suspended from gossamer fine silk ribbons, with their complementary earrings.
“Bubble” polyester beads in plenty of colours, blended with colourful tulles in a playful way, or hanging from various chains. Their uniqueness is that every pair has two different earrings and colours can be mixed and matched.
“Rainbow” coloured glass beads & “Delightful” hand-stitched fabrics.
Jewellery from the “Playful” & the “Juicy” collections, are launched at the Benaki Museum* Shop, in Athens/ Greece.
Released in the UK on a limited basis, the wholesale collection ranges from £8.00 - £100.00 and is made in limited quantities, due to the unusual nature of the materials and the hand-stitching.
(* The Benaki Museum in one of the best museums in Athens and certainly the most important in terms of the history of both ancient and modern Greece as well as art and culture.)
