When the art of drama meets the art of jewellery, then…

The lights go down, the time ‘s  moviola starts to move backwards,
fire heats up silver, gemstones are polished and gold is forged,
while black and white pictures reel frame-by-frame through the jeweller’s imagination…

From “Electra” to “Evdokia”, from “Stella” to “Antigone”, from “Iphigenia” and the “Brides”  to Marika in “Rembetiko”, these symbolic, archetypical, fatal women become muses and source of inspiration for the creator-enchanter of the earth’s precious materials.

The J.A.W. (Jewellery Art Workers) group create jewel to ornament unforgettable interpretations of female characters that lit up the dark rooms.

Drama and jewellery, form and performance become raw material in the hands of the 20  jewel creators of the J.A.W. group, who trace in their unique way the history of Greek cinema.
